Is this patch implemented? Thanks Hashcode for your support-
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
No, actually it's not in. I can speak with the CM crew to see how they're treating this issue.

Anyone else failed install 7/17 build? The checksum matches exactly and never had issues the previous half dozen installs. I think it was a status 7 error code.

Update: Stupid me, used google search and followed the link but got the 7 inch version.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] laopai:
Hi Hashcode,

Thank you so much for making a cm10.1 rom available for my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 LTE! I enjoy it so much that I never miss the original Amazon rom... well, except the LTE part.

Could you, if possible, to make a LTE version available? I understand that you don't have a LTE version. But I would like to volunteer to be a tester for that rom. I believe there are a couple of other guys on this forum who can help test it also.

Please, please, please, Hashcode. That will make my life much happier although I am pretty happy with the rom now.

Anyway, if you don't have time to do it (I know you are so busy), I will still be patient...and thankful that we have a guy named Hashcode...:good:

Hello,

I have not tried with Swype, but first I installed swift key for tablets and I experienced the same as you did with Swype. Then I tried with thumb keyboard and it worked at times. Now I just installed A.I. Tablet and the keyboard pops up normally and no issues so far (been using it for a couple of hours)...

Don't know if this is a bug. Yes, the AOSP

Keyboard works with no problems.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

Swiftkey tablet did not work for me, it just didn't pop up....
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] vaggolena:
No problem on my end, dirty flashed on top of the 7/13 build and it's running smoothly.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] CAL7:
I couldn't get Swype to work reliably (not never, but maybe 10% of the time) so I have reverted to the AOSP keyboard version of "Swype". It's not as bad as I remember it on early JB, but I'm really comfortable with real Swype.

Since this problem is observed on a couple of alternate keyboards, does that indicate a CM10 ROM issue?

There is no path for jem's kernel in local_manifest.xml.:confused:

This is the local_manifest, I'm using for building Jem atm:

boot.img diagram:

location | description
-----
0 | 1024 byte hacked certificate file
-----
1024 | normal mkboot wrapper boot.img (!ANDROID) around 4.5mb
-----
gap of space
-----
6519488 | start of 4096 byte stack file (used when booting to recovery)
-----
gap of space
-----
8117072 | start of 2nd-bootloader binary (u-boot.bin)

total usually around 8369296 once all combined

* gap of space is normally 0's

On Linux, to build the special KFire hacked boot.img (called newboot.img here). Download the following files:

1. stack file used in 2nd-bootloader instructions:

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/stack

2. hacked cert file:

https://github.com/KFire-Android/android_device_amazon_jem/raw/cm-10.1/prebuilt/boot/boot_cert

3. 2nd-bootloader binary

https://github.com/KFire-Android/android_device_amazon_jem/raw/cm-10.1/prebuilt/boot/u-boot.bin

Place them all together with your boot.img in the same directory and open a terminal changing to that directory:

cat boot_cert boot.img > newboot.img
dd if=u-boot.bin of=newboot.img bs=8117072 seek=1 conv=notrunc
dd if=stack of=newboot.img bs=6519488 seek=1 conv=notrunc

Now you can flash newboot.img to the device and it should meet the requirements for loading:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot newboot.img

1st of all, I must thank Hashcode for his amazing effort. Without his ROM, I would have sold my KFHD long ago.

2nd: I don't know what is going on with the guys with broken YouTube app. I upgraded from 13-July build to 17-July, and my YouTube app works just fine. I tried 20 different videos (long and short, HD, FHD, and low-res) and all played without issues. I'm using the latest app from Play Store.

Is anyone experiencing any lag issues in regards to scrolling, opening apps, etc?

Sorry, my YouTube started working fine suddenly. Not sure if the logcat will help now
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] secretsubscriber:
I'm experiencing the same issue. My Windows 8 machine detects Kindle as an adb device but not as an MTP device. When using Stock or StariRom, which is based on Stock firmware, the Kindle is detected as an MTP device. When using CM10.1 I need to use a Windows 7 machine to get MTP functionality.

Has anyone had any luck with this issue? I was wondering if copying the MTP files from Win7 over to Win8 would work.

Thanks.

HBO Go not working

This thread has only two posts that reference HBO Go; both dated May 8th. I've installed the 7/17 Rom and ESPN and YouTube work fine though YouTube doesn't seem to work in full screen mode. One of the posts mentions a hack but there were no instructions on how to download and apply the hack. Since there are no other mention of HBO Go in the entire thread, I'm assuming the hack solves my problem. Can someone get me going on this hack or a different solution please/
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Due to the massive changes I'm making for the Dolby Surround code, I've had to fork:

frameworks/av

frameworks/base

hardware/libhardware

hardware/libhardware_legacy

system/media

So for now, I'll go ahead and bring this HBO-GO patch in for the next build (it goes into frameworks/base).

The future is that this needs to be addressed in CM's base code or else this will be lost once the devices are merged w/ CM sources.

another masterpiece

Just upgraded to this new release last night and it is very smooth. Camera orientation is perfect, sound is great, everything else is functions very well and quite smooth. Once again [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] has really come through for this community. Not seeing any of the youtube issues reported, however i do have the issue with the screen flipping around when long-pressing icons on the screen to move/delete them. That was not present in the revision i upgraded from, which was cm-10.1-20130405-UNOFFICIAL-jem but did seem to exist in all revisions after that. If i missed it in the forum pages, i apologize, but has anyone found a solution for that?

EDIT: I Also had an issue with non-rotating lock screen. Thank you to Hashcode for having posted the solution for non-rotating lock screen a few pages back. lock screen rotation has its own setting now.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Brandonrz:
[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] You need the SMS middleware patches put in for PushSMS. (see Gerrit) Have you done this??
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] l3enjamin:
Is the flipping problem not exist in cm-10.1-20130405-UNOFFICIAL-jem? Though strange but I wonder it was a hardware problem because it also happens in stock rom in my device.:rolleyes:
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I changed how the rotation worked after the 4/05 build so that the camera would line up to the top of the device when apps request landscape rotation. It's not hardware. :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Ah, you're correct. I do have some of the preliminary work for this in the latest build. But some of these patches came later:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/owner:"Koushik+Dutta"+status:merged,n,z

I'll see what I can do.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] noobapotomus:
That explains why the long press causes the screen to rotate after 405. Thanks for clearing that up hashcode. Other than that, this rom is pretty damn good.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] daruiner:
What's the best way to upgrade between ROM builds? Can I just put the zip on the/sdcard and flash from recovery or are there any special considerations? Will all my apps and data be retained?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] manchucka:
Flashing in recovery replaces everything in /system. You will thus lose your GAPPS, which you should flash directly after flashing the ROM. Here are the GAPPS you should use: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857

Your data (/data) will be retained. Best to wipe dalvik cache when wiping. Consider using GooManager from Play Store to flash ROM+GAPPS. Doing so will give you the options both to wipe dalvik cache and, importantly, to backup your previous install before flashing. Good!

? ?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] brotbuexe:
thats wrong. gapps would be backed up and restored in cm10.x when you flash a new build.

you dont need to wipe dalvik. dalvik cache would be rebuild after the reboot. its the "optimizing app x of y" message.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] noobapotomus:
You should always backup before doing any change just in case... I typically do a full backup right from twrp. I just flashed the new release on here a few days ago using Goo manager and had no issues. I download the roms and flash from there. You can also use twrp or fire flash.

Tried HDMI just the other day and found it to be 90 degrees off. Haven't made a clean install in a while (flashed latest build last week), but as everything else works fine, I'd rather not. I guess there's a specific setting that has to be cleared to fix the HDMI rotation. Could someone (Hashcode?) please tell me what, so I can avoid doing a full /data wipe?

I generally prefer the scalpel rather than the sledge hammer approach to fix problems... :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
There is a prop you need to reset with this command via adb as su:

Installed the new version over the prior release (cleared caches). Install went fine and apps were updated. Spent a little time trying various apps with no problems.

Hey Hashcode, thanks a lot for your hard work and porting stock android to kindle fire HD :). I been using it fro couple of days now and its running awesome only with couple of bugs that I have noticed.

Bluetooth wont turn on

Live wallpaper crashes the whole system

I have the 4g lte version kindle but I guess you didnt implement the 4g in this rom.

I will post more if I find any.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

I had that as well, but then I removed my charging cable and held my power button until it turned off, then turn it on again but dont plugin the charging cable. hope this helps
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
Please red this whole thread before posting bugs. Lte version uses a different Bluetooth firmware and as of now late version build is not ready. So you have to replace the firmware as mentioned elsewhere in the thread to get the Bluetooth working. Which live wallpaper are you talking about? Since day one I've been using stock live wall papers and never had a crash. So please provide more details with a logcat.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

If nothing works then use the twrp to adb sideload the ROM once again and then the gapps. Don't forget to wipe cache and data.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LudicrousPeed:
Live wallpapers don't cause anything to crash for me, but after a reboot the wallpaper reverts to the default wallpaper (not the one I may have had before applying a live wallpaper...the original wallpaper that was applied from a fresh CM install). Does your live wallpaper stay after a reboot?

I don't really care about live wallpapers or any wallpapers for that matter anyway. No wallpaper (black) is always best in my opinion.

I apologize if it's been asked about before, but I didn't see it. I'm using the "viper4android" sound mod (it's great btw!) On my 7" kindle, but I can't seem to get it functional on my buddy's 8.9". Has anyone had success with this mod on here? I've tried different drivers for the hell of it but of course that was a no go. Thought maybe something in the kernel was forcing volume through dsp, so I tried uninstalling it but no change so now I'm kinda stumped

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DirtyDobbs:
No, I guess I'm a little lost, how would I install the gaaps? Do I side load them or just do the install button on TWRP? When I load the CM10.1 it works for the most part, I can't get ADB to show up in windows, but I do see where it says Kindle Fire. I'll try it again with a fresh install, what options should I chose when I wipe everything? I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing seening as it's my andriod device so everything is still new.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zedomax:
Pretty solid build, my mom couldn't download any apps from Amazon Playstore (as her address is in Korea and couldn't fix the issue even when changing) I decided to finally load up CM10.1 using this guide. Now she can access everything thru playstore and also download thousands of korean apps (which are non-existent on Amazon Store). Anyways, thanks for this build OP, I have been waiting a long time for this.

Pretty solid build, everything works out of the box, I've got flash player working fine, the only thing I would say is that sound is a bit low (which should be fixable with some kind of sound mod soon) and when you hold down an app in app drawer in landscape mode, the tablet will flip a bunch of times.

But that's nothing compared to what you can do with this tablet now, anyways, thanks hash.

You flash the gapps.zip right after you flash the cm10.1.zip in twrp. Can't remember which version of twrp this uses - not near my fire - but it should have a button that says 'add more files' after you select the cm10.1 zip and before you swipe to install. Just download both to device, select all of the wipe options except the 'sdcard' where the zips are located, flash both zips and reboot....
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Greek2me:
As of the latest build, I encounter an infinitely spinning CM logo whenever I attempt to reboot my device. This is resolved by entering TWRP and clearing the cache. Let me know if there are any logs I can provide to help determine the cause.

I have a couple questions, one about this ROM, the other about the device. I am in the market for a fire 8.9 but know it does not natively support USB otg.

Does cm10.1 work with USB otg on this device? I would like to be able to plug in a flash drive. Also, is it easy to get rid of the 2nd boot loader if I want to return it to amazon within the 30 days?
