Started getting a bunch of random force closes, video doesn't work, audio keeps going back to 0. Worked fine so far for the month I've had it but yesterday started having tons of issues, rendering the device unusable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Do a factory reset it will fix it.

How can I enable screenshots from the power menu? I tried PlayStore apps but they don't work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
This is AOSP not CyanogenMod
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 404-Not Found:
I know that but I really need that. I would change ROMs, but some apps require a lot of RAM. And CM ROMs leave only about 90-0 MB of RAM, and this ROMs leaves about 140 MB which is awesome. Can it be modded?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
I think there is a mod for exposed. Try looking around there

Been using thgis for a few days. Charging seems to be a bit of a problem. It only seems to charge in sleep/idle mode. . Wont charge if the screen is on. Have i missed something ? cheers
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
I had this issue on when using my LG charger(stock amazon one will work anytime). I assume you cannot feed an active KF with weak chargers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fishytale:
I am using a samsung 230v micro usb charger , thanks for the heads up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shravbits:
Always try to use the Amazon stock chargers (5V USB adapter and the stock one that comes with the Fire) because they always work.

Sorry to ressurect this old thread but I just scored a 1st Gen amazon kindle fire and I was wondering if there is anything I need to look for (hardware/existing version/etc) before I try to flash this release?

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Yeah bro, any KitKat build. the KF has .5 gb of ram. Any app on JB will usually FC after a few minutes. Even with this stock rom you'll probably get 100mb free ram. KitKat is WAY better optimized and you get usually around >160mb free. If you need even more ram, get a GB rom or an OtterX build (it's still in beta though so I'd wait a little). Hope this helps!

[INDEX] Kindle Fire Development *REVISED*

take a look at this thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hydeah:
Thank you both!

I was told that what I bought is actually Kindle Fire HD not the original Fire. I guess I will look for that development thread instead!

Sorry about the confusion but it wasn't clear which model it was. I will wait until I receive it before I start researching.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
well.. if in fact it is KF HD, feel free to contact me to exchange with my original KF, so that your research wont be a waste. :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Make sure you verify what kind of Kindle it is when you get it. You wouldn't want to use a KFHD utility on a KFHDX or a KF2 script on a KF1 or something like that ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hydeah:
Thank you so much. Amazon's naming scheme makes it very difficult until I get one in my hand and check the model #.

The reported model # is X43Z60 , if this makes any sense to you, but bottom line is that it is Kindle Fire HD 7" with Camera. I think there is only one with camera, hopefully that will help narrow it down? I hope I can get some sort of Android on this although I do like the idea of Amazon's version so that amazon prime instant video would work. As far as I know there is no prime instant video on android due to lack of flash and lack of silverlight.

Thanks again!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Well it's just I know a few people who've gotten mixed up and now only have $200 paper-weights :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hydeah:
Confirmed, it is X43Z60

So it is Amazon Fire HD 7" model.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
So this is not the right thread for you to come. ;)

Check this forum area instead.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
I don't remember exactly where, but somewhere on this site, people successfully installed and used amazon prime video services on custom ROMs. Search for instructions..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hydeah:
Thanks, I'll search, I am more interested in getting FreeTime and FreeTime Unlimited to run on custom rom if possible, if not, I'll stick with stock rom for now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Freetime isn't possible as of now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Well, like [MENTION=994299]dokie80[/MENTION] said before, I'll glady trade if you want a 1st gen :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Yep. I don't mind with a loss. As long as u happy :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
Use this http://speedy.sh/abFzb/Tv-Portal.apk app for lots of content on any ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hydeah:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
Off topic.. It's lots of TV shows and movies for free.. Google it ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hydeah:
Thanks, I just signed up for free time unlimited on top of prime and I will try to use it as it is for now to see how it fairs, then I can always try flashing custom rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HereBeMonsters:
Is there any way of installing the play store on the device after thus rom is loaded? I can't seem to install any apps as there's no option to log into a google account in the accounts part of settings.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrdreamers:
link to rom not working, is there another link?:confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
As you may see this rom is very old and its development had been discontinued almost a year ago.

So... The only chance, very tiny chance btw, is to ask developer upload the rom elsewhere. If you are lucky and your request will be kind enough you may get a proper response I guess. Of course if Hash is still subscribing xda and if he still has such an old build in his backup storage.

By the way, at least you should thank Shadow for his help in other threads. He is really trying to help you but I've seen no thanks in all his answers.

Thanks for understanding mate.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HereBeMonsters:

Thank you for posting this dude, after hours of searching i finally found one that works. The first link i followed was called "[Root][TWRP][COTR][BOOTLOADERS]Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 (4/5/13) [1st Gen Only!]" and all but one of the links ended up being a very virus ridden download, ended up spending several hours cleaning up the fallout from that. Thank you again, working great on mine!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KayakDancer:
Thanks you so much for posting this and keeping these links active this long. I spent half the day getting my KF 1 ready to flash only to spend more hours searching for active links to the 4.2.2 ROM and GApps that I needed. I was finally able to finish my project of running Headunit Reloaded on my long dormant Kindle Fire Gen 1. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] compjan:
He is STILL keeping these files alive.

You MUST request access. He granted me access to the ROM in a few hours.

THANK YOU !! I used a 4.2.2 on the 1st gen years ago. It finally died from one drop too many.

I got TWO of these tablets off of EBAY, delivered, for under $25.00 total. 2 fires, looked NEW, delivered.

Please keep these alive or ask XDA to host them. Better yet, ask them AND keep yours up !!

This is a work in progress.

Your requested ROM is there AND some compatible GAPPS.

Still gathering files for the HD8.9 to upload.

TWRP, firefirefire, and other needed files are there also.

Sorted into 3 folders.

1st gen Kindle fire

Kindle fire HD8.9

And another folder I don't remember the name of is tools, utilities, some GAPPS packages. A clockwork mod recovery for 1 of the 2 tablets.

More to upload, but rounding up the files was a bigger task than I thought.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] compjan:
To an earlier post asking if it is better/faster than android 4.4.

No idea. I never ran higher than 4.2.2 on my fire.

BUT, I had root access for the ability to run ONE program on my hacked fire tablet.

SetCPU for Android

SetCPU for Android is a powerful root utility that gives you full control of your Android device's CPU and more.

www.setcpu.com

Worked GREAT. Overclocked to 1.2 ghz for running castle clash for years. UNDERCLOCK to 300 mhz when reading an ebook offline. Massive battery improvement.

No longer @ play store, but available at the usual legitimate APK download sites.

The ABOVE link is random flashing, drivers for ADB / fastboot, a flash for Android 4.2.2 to make Google play store identify the 1st Kindle fire as a nexus 2012 model.

Anyone else not have the ability to two-finger swype down the notification bar to access the 4.2.1 quick settings feature?

One other very minor bug I haven't seen mentioned is in portrait mode > settings WiFi and Bluetooth text is covered up by the on-off switch. Perhaps that's how it has to be.

As has been noted, the advanced/development settings seem to be missing. Somehow, I managed to turn off USB debugging and now I can't turn it back on! (wouldn't have turned it off if I knew beforehand doh!)

Can't get root updated Busy Box said I was rooted but no Super User.

Re installed ROM tried up dating busy box, SU oked it then Busy Box says can't update.?????

Deleted BusyBox from /system/bin and reinstalled. Root Checker says I got Root and BusyBox but Titamium Backup still says no root.

installed rom on top again Now Titamium Backup works!

Installed with no issues. Works as advertised with the exception of items noted in the OP and the mentioned issue of requiring multiple touches at times. SlideIT keyboard works in the absence of the stock equivalent. Switching between apps seems exceptionally fast.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Upon further investigation I found that if I ran busybox by Stericson and chose to replace all symlinks that Smirkit runs fine. I do not know if this points directly to busybox or superuser itself. The culprits right at the top of my list of concerns are md5sum, sh because cause that seems to be the error when running it. Thanks to Webdroidmt for pointing out that Smirkit no longer worked. How this problem will transmit to superuser ,su or scripting in general probably will need to have a talented eye look more closely at it.

Okay, the wierdest thing happened. I was flashing back to the modaco stock ROM and it stuck, so I re-wiped and flashed, no dice. It stuck at "writing boot" so I restarted to see what would happen, it booted to android 4.2 with one major change. The touch screen is now fixed! I don't know what happened, but it works! Does anybody know what happened?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] awidawad:
This doesn't make any sense... How could that fix the touchscreen??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Maybe a clean flash fixed it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GezaEchs:
Well, my clean flash worked great, and the ROM so far is amazing. Only issues are those that have already been reported: quick battery drain due (presumably) to the screen never actually being off and the touchscreen being less than responsive in taps and typing. Can't suggest any fixes for them, though; not savvy enough yet in development to know my way around.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 2390:
I have no idea, but it fixed it. I know that I didn't even flash the 4.2 ROM after, it just didn't finish flashing modaco. Maybe it is something in that ROM. Honestly, I have no idea, I'm just glad it works.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] shawndoc:
Since this is now making the mainstream blogs, I have a suggestion:

- Include links in the OP to instructions on what needs to be done on a stock non-rooted Kindle, before starting the instructions to flash this ROM. The current instructions assume you've already rooted your Kindle Fire and know a bit about custom ROMs.

Second, a complete noob question:

- Will the Amazon App store still recognize my device as a Kindle? The reason I ask is because I've purchased several "Kindle Edition" apps in the past, and I'm curious if I can still download and install them after flashing this ASOP build, or if I'll have to purchase the generic tablet version from the play store?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] SierraStroker:
Thanks for the hard work.

Any chance the microphone support will be added soon? Kindle Fire's do support trrs devices from what I understand, just a matter of enabling it in the kernel right?

Also when you stay limited otg support, what does that include? Can I plug in an external hard drive or thumbdrive (assuming I used a powered hub of course?) What about a usb keyboard/mouse?

Camera support would be really cool too, hope to see that happen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sistema1927:
Wifi Interference?

Install went well, but I notice that the Kindle Fire interferes with my Wifi signal for other devices. It took a bit of sleuthing, but if the wifi on the Kindle Fire is turned on every other wifi device in the room loses internet connection. A Dell laptop, a Dell Ultrabook, a Motorola Xoom, and 2 Samsung Galaxy S4G phones all lose internet connection if in the same room as the Kindle Fire with wifi turned on.

Strange, very strange indeed. Are there other Radios/Modems that can be flashed with this ROM to try to rectify this problem?
