Wow, I'm amazed that we're already up to 4 pages and I haven't seen anybody mention that location services is now working in AOSP. I guess I'm one of only a few that feel it's important. Anyway, so far in early testing, aside from the known issues the rom looks very good and very fluid. Most things that I have tested appear to be working well.

One oddity that I've come across is that smirkit installer will not work with this rom. It gives an error in Terminal Emulator and will not execute. I'm not very proficient with scripting but I'm thinking that something has changed in the 4.2 file structure and conflicts with the smirkit script???

As usual Hashcode, fantastic work! Thanks again.

@ThePooch thanks for helping me with adb :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Your welcome maybe you could post a link for that for others I have been modifying it since way back its not pretty the long line of id's but it should work for any kindle system.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] awidawad:
Anyone with adb problems, download the file below and replace the original file in the KFU drivers folder, then run install_drivers.bat. Credit and thanks go to ThePooch
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
I had installed busybox because installer couldn't locate it I believe the lack of busybox could affect smirkit. Just a guess.

Edit: smirkits a no go for me to webdroidmt it threw errors and said smirkit didn't exist in xbin plus md5 mismatch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
+1 yea webdroidmt try installing busy box, that should fix it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yeah, thanks guys was just looking through the rom and couldn't locate busybox in either bin or xbin and I know smirkit needs it. I kinda' figured that may have been the issue based on the error that I got with smirkit.

Funny, before I tested smirkit, I typed in "whoami" in TE and got "not found" instead of root, thought that was weird. Now I know why. :) Thanks again guys & Pooch I owe you a thanks click, used up my eight for the day. :laugh:

Hashcode, could you please add busybox on your next build? Thanks.

EDIT: Just saw your edit. So, still a no go even with busybox? Cr#p! Ah, you'll still get a thanks for the good effort. I owe you one also, tobiascuypers.

Same errors that I got and the smirkit files are definitely there. Maybe the file structure in 4.2 differs from 4.1, I flipped back to my 4.1 nandroid and smirkit worked as usual. Hopefully, someone smarter than me with this stuff figures it out.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
I got it to run but it may not be the best way. I mounted xbin r/w simply copied the extracted folder to xbin, then copied the one smirkit file(which I assume is the .sh and smirkit file folder to the root of xbin, remounted xbin as r/o, then ran it in a terminal and it worked like a champ. Maybe we can plead with our illustrious wizard developers to begin to include this presetup in their builds never need to flash or copy again, recovery and bootloader flashing or switching on the fly. It does it`s own md5 check so its very safe. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Can't wait for the cm10.1/aokp. Nice Job, Hash.

Devices:

Kindle Fire with AlienDroid primary and Modaco secondary
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Nice workaround but I seriously doubt that the vast majority of the people here would be willing, or able to do this. The beauty of smirkit is that it's easy and all the commands are pretty much hidden in the background.

Thanks again for your input, it may come in handy for me down the road.

EDIT: On another note, the vertical white flash when I manually turned the screen off that occurred on the previous 4.1 build has been fixed.

audio control

Hi,

I switched back from CM10 to this ROM.

One of the things I liked about CM10 was that it had direct access to volume control from the top right side dropdown list (where the battery status and other settings are).

It is missing in this ROM. Instead you find things like bluetooth toggle, which are not relevant for my first generation kindle fire.

Is there a way to add it?

Thanks,

Yossi
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
There are some third party apps that will do that in notification panel from play store...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
I just downloaded ROM and installed it on my KF, yet on the very first boot it doesn't seem like it passed boot animation... i'm going to try reflash it again, but something tells me that's not how it suppose to be...

UPDATE: never mind, i did "factory reset" and it came back to live as it was suppose to at the first place)

thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Yep...reading the installation instructions helps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
I did read them at the first place, but something went south and it didn't work, so i did factory reset not just wiping cache / dalvik and now it works)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TMinh:
Hi. Is there tablet ui in this rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Use your search feature
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TMinh:
Hi there, i did use the search feature and all i see is another one asked the same question as me.

And why dont you just say "yes" or "no"??? It's more simple right???

Has anyone successfully taken screenshots with any app after installing this ROM?

I have tried several, and while they look like they work when I check the actual JPGs etc they are all just black.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
As the thread title states, this is stock AOSP. If you searched Google or xda, you would get your answer as to whether or not there is a tablet ui for Stock Jellybean AOSP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kipliq:
This is a great build, only question is I see part of an outline of a box to the right of the clock on the lock screen. Anyway to get rid of that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
It is for widgets. You can remove such by using TWA privs sgt7 build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lavrentsii:
Apparently Google has published the source code JB MR1.2. Are you going to merge this with the ROM, or does it not really do anything?

BTW, I like this a lot better than the Cyanogenmod-based Jellybean/ICS ROMs. The performance on this one is far superior.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Yep, soon as I get some time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shahrukhraza:
Uh guys.. I attempted to make a back up in twrp and it says it has backed up data and system and now it just says updating partion details for like 10 miniutes already. What should i do?:confused::confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
Nothing. It's done.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shahrukhraza:
Okay thanks.

One more thing..

How are we supposed to make the volume higher without going into the settings?

Why was amazon so stupid that they didn't put a volume rocker!? :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
This is why many people don't use pure AOSP. Install CM or use a 3rd party app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rbeavers:
I am using volume swipe works most of the time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shahrukhraza:
Okiiee thank you.

Edit:

Just checked... the apps not available anymore. where did you download it from?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] furtom:
You can also consider Button Savior, since we have no buttons at all. It has volume controls as well. I've been using it for over a year and couldn't live without it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Two days in and switching to this ROM was the right choice.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] papaschtroumpf:
What is the difference between this ROM and the CM 10.1.0 one?

Or said another way, why should I use this ROM instead of CM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
This ROM is stock Jelly Bean (vanilla) meaning there are absolutely no bells and whistles associated with it. CM10.1 is heavily customized and has many bells and whistles :) Why don't you try both versions and see what works best for you
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
I find this one be be smoother. CM has a bunch of bloat and doesn't run as well for me. Of course I don't need a lot of customization. I prefer my devices to be more Spartan.

After trying pretty much every popular ROM for the Fire the only features I feel I'm missing are the circle battery mod, tablet UI status bar, and the quick nav from Jandycane.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mizunox:
I installed this on my boss at work's Kindle and it works great for the most part.

One thing we're running into though is that it will sometimes not wake from sleep.

I press power and it does nothing..

So I'll plug it in, and instantly I'll get the Kindle Fire logo and it'll start to boot. Once booted it has ample battery life so it wasn't that it died.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Did you do a full wipe when installing? (Can use Titanium Backup to restore just app data).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mizunox:
Yeah I did. I was coming from the stock ROM so I wiped everything.

If it's not a common problem then maybe I should try wiping and flashing again.

Google Hangouts App

Hello, I am running this beautiful ROM (Thanks, Hashcode!!) and I cannot install Hangouts. It does not appear in the Play Store App, and when viewing it on the web it says the install is "Incompatible". Any advice is appreciated! If it is a buildprop issue, I have never edited BP before and am not sure how to. Hopefully there is an alternative. Thanks in advance.

Edit: There must have been a change because now it installed properly from the market app.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] techdog:
I have this sometimes. I have found that it happens when I have turned it off with Wi-Fi on. So, now I just make sure to turn off Wi-Fi before turning it off.

I have found issues with some wireless networks and the Wi-Fi on the kindle so I'm thinking the two are related.

Also, you CAN install it via the praystore website

And it will just replace talk.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] tomathy:
Absolutely in love with this ROM still but I am definitely curious to when the next update will come to address some of the battery issues people have been describing (I am experiencing them too and would love to have a Kindle that preserves the battery when turned off!)

If I can't get the 3.4 kernel out in the next few weeks + there isn't a new Android, then I'll see about rebuilding this w/ all new drivers using the 3.0 kernel base.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Socially Uncensored:
I think optimizing the code should be a high priority.

Seems with very rom release, people typically add more in. As a Kindle Fire only has 512 mb for ram, adding more in isn't exactly the best of ideals. Rather I think its better to keep this as minimal as possible (pure android os) & add only anything that which may improve the memory requirements (kernel update for example).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Then help do it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
This is exactly what im doing with the 3.4 kernel. Not just a kernel update but a complete overhaul of most of the drivers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chronos300:
I flashed this ROM today and overall it's been working great but one question I have is after I charged it and unplugged it the battery icon still shows it as charging even after I rebooted. What can I do to fix this. THANKS!!

That happens to me as well but it always goes away after a little while.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webwhacker:
I just want to thank Hashcode for this awesome ROM. Just saved my dad $300 by installing this ROM instead of buying another tablet he was looking at. He's a happy camper. Donation incoming! There was not a single issue the entire weekend I spent installing and using this RPM to ensire my dad would have a smooth experience.

EDIT: okay, I feel stupid. Where is the donate option?

Oddly, the mobile interface / tapatalk has no donate links. But if you use a regular browser I think it's under my name on posts (to the left side).

Or if you'd like you can visit my blog at:

And thanks for your support :)

Glad you like the ROM!

Folks, maybe I'm being stoopid here, but every time I try to flash this, it fails?

I have TWRP 2.2.2.1, KFU 1.4a.

Done a full wipe of all possible wipes.

When I hit install, it fails with "status 7"?

Other ROMS install OK, so I wondered if the .zip was corrupt, so I downloaded it again - same difference...

Help, please - I would really love to run this ROM!

Has anyone found a good app to boost the volume on the kindle fire with jellybean installed? I've tried a few apps and none have any impact. I know jellybean fixed the flaw these apps were exploiting. Is there any way to boost the sound on jellybean on the KF?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Did you try the latest cm10.1 nightly
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MxChris:
No I have not, I like the look and feel of this stock jellybean that I'm on. CM10 is a lot different isn't it?

Are there no more updates being done to this particular ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
its not alot different, its simply just more refined...

cm is much more active
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jacobloveskindles:
After using it for 1 week it got stuck saying it was charging after i unplugged it and still said it after a reboot.I tried to refresh it and i turned it off and I turned it back on and it said charged although it wasn't

That has happened with me a few times. I just let the battery drain completely and charged it to 100% and all was fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jbl0ggs:
Ok, so Installed KFU and using it, I installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 & FFF, I downloaded the ROM and gapps, Used TWRP to Wipe Delv/chache, Installed ROM & then gapps, rebooted. The Kindle booted into the Wavey animation and I was under the impression it takes 10-15 mins for it to carry out the updates while this animation is going on (But there is no idication of what exactly is happening). An hour later the wavey animation is still going with no indication of when it will actually boot into Android. So I'm thnking this has not worked. Can someone please guide me as to what to do now?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Did you wipe system first too?

do a flesh wife of /data /cache /system

Flash rom

Flash gapps

Reboob

Shouldn't take more than 3 minutes in initial boot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jbl0ggs:
The only thing I did not do was Wipe of System. I did everything else on the list. Also the kindle is was new I did not go through any account set up and just skipped it since I wanted the install Android JB on it.

Should I just re-do the steps? Or do I need to restore before doing the steps again?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Wiping system would be an essential trouble shooting step because your having problems.

I would start over doing the process I describe above.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jbl0ggs:
I did all the steps this time, including wiping system, but still stuck on the boot animation. When I connect the KF to PC, it does not detect it a USB device so I can't even try another ROM. I will try a restore from back up and see if I can at least get back to orginal.

...And I thought this was going to be easy :(

EDIT: Thanks to tobiascuypers who suggested that I also wipe Data as well as Delvk/Cache/System and then install Rom/gapps, I now have CM10.1 installed and working.

Also thanks asf58967 for your help too.

First of all, I can't WAIT to put this onto my KF! Ijust got my Galaxy S4 and I LOVE the JB OS! But my question is this; I haven't been using my KF for a while (a year or so), so I just want to make sure that I am not too far out of date to load this ROM. I am on 4.1.2, kernel 3.0.3.1, AOSP otter unofficial OCT-17-12, TWRP 2.2.2.1. Does anyone know if I can just throw this onto my KF and then flash it from TWRP Recovery? If it matters, when I just turned on my KF for the first time in a few months, I got GOO Manager updates saying that there were updates available for my ROM as well as GAPPS. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
