sorry if this question has been asked but I could not find an answer. But I'm on 7/26 Rom and was wondering if I upgrade to 8/12 do I have to do a fresh install loosing all my stuff, or is there a way to update and keep everything. My Kindle is not connected to the internet and I won't have internet on it for about 2 more weeks. Any help would be great.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dmroeder:
Any time you are flashing updates of the same rom, you just flash the update, then the gapps, then wipe the cache. No factory reset necessary unless you are switching roms.

Hash have you added OTG support Its been a while I didn't get in here.. If you didn't is there any chance you can enable OTG I do really need it :) thansk so much .. It's not like it's quite pleasurable to add an external hub to plug flashdrives

:)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] blegs38552:
Can you please expand on this? Where would I find this file? I plugged my device into my PC and looked in File Explorer for a folder named system. Didn't find it - I checked View Hidden Files and unchecked Hide Protected and System files. In this a sub folder? If so, where can I locate it?

My device is a Kindle Fire HD converted to the N2AOS Android O/S.

Thanks in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] conalt:
Dont plug it into your PC. Use a file browser on the kindle that has root access. Like the ES file explorer. In the root folder (folder before SD card) youll find the System folder, and from there follow the other directories
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] blegs38552:
Found the file and opened it for editing in ES Note Editor.

Changed value to 105, but when I exited and was prompted to save, I answered Yes and received a message box saying "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved."

Is there something I have to do to enable me to edit this file? Properties say that the file is readable and writeable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
My way of doing these changes to system files:

- copy the file (e.g. with ES File Explorer) to your sdcard

- connect the phone to your pc and copy the file from sdcard to the pc

- edit the file using Notepad++ (do not use standard Notepad, as it would not preserve the unix format)

- copy back to sdcard

- with ES File Explorer copy back to system (instead of overwriting, you may have to copy first with a different name, adjust permissions so that they are identical to original file and then delete original file)

- reboot
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] blegs38552:
File Properties attached

Did all of the above - changed name by adding " 1" to the filename.

Permissions appear to be identical (Readable Yes, Writeable Yes, Hidden No - see attached screenshot), but when I try to paste the file into the system.etc folder, I get a message to the effect of:

/system/etc/mixer_paths 1.xml open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system)

Are there different permissions that have to be set, and how do I go about it?

Thanks again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Did you enable write permissions in ES File Explorer? (inside Settings)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] blegs38552:
Did not see a setting for that, but in playing around in the settings, I was able to grant myself superuser status (don't ask me exactly how). This allowed me to copy and paste the file from the SDCARD folder, delete the original file, and rename the changed file to the original filename.

Seems to be a bit louder, doesn't blow me away, but it is sufficient indoors. Have to test it with different apps and see how it works.

Thanks for your help and your patience.

ok there are other settings I messed with and am using for mine which makes it even louder its all in the same file

"DL1 Media Playback Volume" value="120"

"Digital Playback Volume" value="103"

"Speaker Boost Volume" value="7"

Try these out but be warned they might be louder than expected!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] blegs38552:
Tried them, but changes were minimal. Still seems louder than the original, though.

I am playing streaming video in a FIOS Remote app, which enables me to watch some live shows on the FIOS network. At the highest setting, the volume is acceptable, but not excessive.

On other apps, Watch ESPN for example, the volume at the highest setting is quite loud, so this may be an app specific problem.

Thanks for your help.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] south956:
well you can mess with settings and see what also works for your apps plus did you reboot after changing settings
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] blegs38552:
Don't think I rebooted last time. Booted up my device this morning - seems to be somewhat louder.

I'm using the latest version of this with the correct gapps but cannot get my camera to work at all.

Skype, nexus 7 camera starter, facelock, hangouts.. Nothing works, any ideas?

Edit: wanted to point out my other issue.

When my kindle is charging using any cable in multiple sockets and devices it's quite unusable.

Whilst charging if I tap somewhere on the screen it spams random locations with taps opening random apps, opening app switcher, typing random letters from the keyboard. Any ideas for this one?

Hashcode moved over to CM11.0 quite a while ago now which has just become official on CM, I don't think this CM10.1 is even maintained anymore, so no fixes etc.

Downloaded latest TWRP, CM11 nightly and the correct gapps to my kindle.

Rebooted to recovery, flashed twrp, rebooted to recovery again.

Did a normal wipe, flashed cm11 and gapps.

Success! Was completely pain free and I am now bringing this latest version around to how I like it!

The issues I previously posted about (random taps while charging and no camera) are non existent!

I am very happy, thank you guys again for your help.

I know this is an old ROM and newer ones are available but I would reaaly like to try it out. The link provided takes you to goo.im but the domain is for sale and files are not available. Would love it if someone could leave a link or direct me to where this ROM can be found.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Gerr1985:
Big thanks to Hashcode, I waited very patiently for this release :)

When I first flashed and used the ROM it was not typing on the onscreen keyboard correctly and was buggy. Like I would hit 1 key, but it would hit multiple or completely different key ( no I did not fat finger it :P ) When I tried some of my smaller games the touch would be jittery and buggy as well, which might be a cause of the keyboard issues... I saw no mention of this from others so maybe it was just me, and I was going to re-wipe and flash then about a day of normal usage all of those issues just magically went away, so weird... but if anyone else experiences this just hang tight for a while I suppose or reflash.

Video/Audio all working well, nothing new to report, headphone jack aux input is not loud at all... saw that mentioned already.

All in all this is a rather impressive alpha build of CM for our Kindle's and it feels OOOOOh so nice to be off of the Kindle OS and have other options :)

*I'm a DERP update*

Looks like, according to recent posts, my initial issues may be related to charging while using... as I definitely was doing that on first use.

Just edit the build.prop yourself, or use Rom Toolbox.

Ok so, in the 8.9" HD Forums, looking into their CM10.1, I found out that a user reported 3D bugs with some games. He mentioned the SIMS Freeplay, so I decided to give it a shot since well, I got nothing to loose. To my surprise, the game looks totally fine, with no bugs at all. It was really smooth and no visual problems were detected. I played for a while and plan to keep downloading some games in order to test if this is a reality or more like a casuality.

Here's the picture by the way.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
CyanogenMod is a deodexed custom ROM, so the first boot will be weird. Also, yes, the charging is a known issue. I presume it's due to the different voltages. Plugging in to the wall and using the tablet will cause the screen to become unresponsive and will behave weirdly. Unplug, and all is back to normal.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] imna357:
Now its time, been waiting for this, HASHCODE is the man, I need to root my kindle HD 7 immediately, didn't bother to root it coz, I like a rom based on CM.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] davelinc:
I think the reasoning is that to sell the kindle at such an aggressive price, they hardly make a profit on the device itself. Instead they sell £2 chargers for £18, plus expensive cases, as well as all the apps and music etc and make up the profits that way. What was a bit cheeky was ensuring the time it took to charge the Kindle from a computer, virtually forcing you to buy a charger if you wanted to use it a few hours a day.

doesn't anyone have video problem? nobody says anything about that, I'm wondering if this is just me.

as I said before .when I open a video using MX player , at first it's slow motion, when I change the codec to saw it runs normal for about a minute then goes fast forward with no sound.

if you guys have the same problem please let me know.

It's hidden along with the developer options, to reveal it go to settings, about tablet (down below) and tap the build number 7 times to reveal performance and developer options.

Hashcode:

Thank you for this brilliant work.

Your ROM went on without a hitch, after installing the 2nd Bootloader. It has turned my Kindle from a curiosity into a keeper. The device was collecting dust in my drawer, but is now in regular use.

Performance is a revelation. No more Amazon-plus-ICS lag and inertia. I enabled developer options, changed animation scale, transition and duration to .5x - and the interface is even slicker now.

The sole minor drawback for me is that BS Player no longer gets my NAS directory on my home network. No problem, I use ES File Manager to get the files, and they run smoothly on the player (yes, mkv too) with no speedups or crashes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sticking with this great project and seeing it through.

Pairing with my bluetooth GPS dongle I was asked for the pin, not tied automatically like before with stock Rom, but was easy.

The new ROM assumes that the Kindle has an internal GPS and that aspect marks the difference with the stock ROM.

Now all app relating GPS install, the two "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(mobile-j.de or Michael Chourdakis) and the excellent and longed "Bluetooth GPS"(Googoo). All work without hangs. I know, I know, imagination for naming......

Parallel Kingdom now installs and runs, needing a "GPS Provider" and Internet by WIFI.

Don't worry, you only forgot to grant Superuser permission in the Stack installation. If the screen is blocked it doesn't appears. I made the same mistake. You can "Fastboot" reinstall stock Boot and Recovery easily when you have the FastBoot cable. only two commands:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img

(boot.img and recovery.img from the backup you made earlier, must be in the same directory that the Fastboot command)

Or with the Noob First Aid Kit from Prokeenexusa you can flash automatically all the entire stock Rom(with the necessary fastboot cable). Select your type of Kindle carefully.....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gflorezarroyo:
One thing that I don't know if is related to this rom:
