yes, I have.

I tested two different Wifi connections.

Both networks have wpa2 aes psk encryption. One network has a visible SSID and the other a invisible SSID.

only an unencrypted connection (hotspot) I can connect

... And there's a problem changing wallpaper; if you're using CM launcher you get Launcher3 closed, if on AOSP launcher Google Search us closed. Along with that, "android.process.media" occurs when you use any ringtone/media-related processes; specifically the Alarm or Settings->Ringtone (etc.). And Chrome/Browser users will have a problem downloading anything, because of the SD Card problem. File Manager also "does not have sufficient required privileges". Launcher3 is also VERY VERY VERY buggy.

This is on CM11 20131212 Nightly, not the Hashcode SGT2.

Any work around on the SD issue yet? Does anyone know of a KK otter 2 build that is working? Tricks? Impossible to copy files or install any apks from dropbox or pc.... Love it so far otherwise
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] obsolete1:
Test driving an OmniROM 4.4 right now...still a little buggy (screen rotation issue just like in 4.3 and an inconsistant flash that does not always work on first boot) but other than that everything seems to be okay. Plus I'm currently downloading Dirty Unicorn sources for a different test build...and I have TeamBAKED's KitKat build on the burner as well...So yeah I'll might have some options coming up here in the next couple of days :)

The 19th still doesn't see the SD card. Keeping my fingers crossed it shows up in the change log soon as 4.4 seems better than 4.3.

Great work so far.

Edit:

20th, no SD access.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Hashcode:
Sorry for the delay on this fix.

Try this build:

I just installed CM11 for my little cousin, so I won't be able to try the fix until Tuesday. Hopefully she can hold out.

Thank you for the great work Hashcode. I really appreciate it! :good:
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] chronicfathead:
No need to apologise. We are very grateful for your continued support. My post was to let less experienced people know there was still an issue, hopefully to prevent people having issues. Putting pressure on you for a fix was not my intention.

I will try the fix after I crawl out of bed.

EDIT: ?

Can now see SD card from the ROM, so feel free to flash the test ROM above, or wait for the next nightly.

For anyone stuck on a previous nightly build with no SD access, I've been doing the following:

1. Download the new ROM

2. Rename it to cm-11.zip

3. Copy the renamed zip file to the folder with your adb command in.

4. Open a command prompt in the adb folder (shift + right click) or navigate to that folder.

5. Type "adb push cm-11.zip /sdcard/download" without the speech marks, and press enter.

6. If it worked you should see a message on screen after a minute or two saying the file was copied.

7. Reboot into TWRP and flash the file as normal.

I want to upgrade a KF2 from 10.1.3 to 11. I understand that I need to update TWRP, but do I need to do anything with the bootloader(either one)? I'm still running the setup from when I first put CM on the device, if that matters. I'm not sure when that was (the Kindle isn't mine), and I'd rather not mess with it if I don't need to.

Anybody have an answer for this?
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Jrhoop:
All i had to do was update TWRP as stated in OP.

Flashing CM11 without this updated TWRP will fail and boot loop.

Flash the new twrp from recovery, reboot into recovery again (new) and flash the cm11 room following the op instructions.

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] ihavoc:
Does this rom not boot into recovery without having to press the power button manually on the kindle fire (blue) screen? Just curious as this would be the first rom/recovery where manual intervention is required.

Either way KF2 running great. Thanks Hashcode.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
It's Not the first its just the first for you lol..

That's the only way in to recovery though.

Its the nature of having a locked bootloader.. We are very lucky that a way was found to run a second boot loader after the first one has run.. Every ROM for the kindle fire 2 HAS to work this way.

Research bootstrap and safestrap and you will see many other devices with locked bootloaders that require a second boot loader in the same fashion.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] ihavoc:
Thanks for the response. I have installed on the KFHD / Motorola Droid Razr Maxx which also have 2nd bootloader/safestrap, coincidentally all done by hashcode, and they will boot automatically into recovery so yeah this is the first time I have encountered this myself. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
Then i obviously must be mistaken!

Do you notice a difference between ART and dalvik?

I'm considering installing this rom even though 4.3 is perfect. The only issue is the lack of microphone on wired headset, but I've lived without that since the first day I switched from stock.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
Not at all honestly. I went back to dalvik since. I DO notice a significant performance increase with 4.4 though

-> Sent from my mind to your screen
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] agentfusion:
I just flashed it about an hour ago, and I have to admit that I can "feel" a huge difference. My kf2 was starting to feel a little sluggish compared to my s3 and I found myself only using my kindle for reading comic books and watching episodes of star trek. Now, typing is much more smooth, as is web browsing.

4.4, the CM team, and #code have breathed new life into this tablet. It's... Well... It feels like my friend's nexus 7 now. No more sluggish performance!
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mog44net:
I agree with above poster for art, its noticeably faster, 4.4 had so many good aspects for power consumption, memory usage etc that it alone is worth it, art is the icing on the cake.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
Which poster? Directly above said nothing about art.

After using this ROM for the past three weeks, I gotta say this rocks! It's running great with no problems. If I could only have a KK ROM for my GNEX that runs this good, I be a happy pup. Big thanks to the Dev. Anybody do any tweaks to the kernel?
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] agentfusion:
From what I understand the gnex problems stem from no one updating the firmware for one of the chips in it... Something about either the company discontinued it or dissolved the department that worked on it. I don't really remember. It was something I read when the gnex was the only device with a kitkat rom.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Clarke33:
Yeah, I read something about that. All I've tried are problematic and I've restored to my favorite, JB Sourcery Encore. It runs like a top.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Hashcode:
There are 2 main issues with all OMAP devices now.

1st is that only vendors with actual devices in production put out updated blobs. So putting out OS updates we will be harder and harder over time.

I sort of combat this by getting to know as many devs as I possibly can - and hope that we share info about which device can be the source for the next round of updates. As well as staying in contact with ex- TI devs now employed by other companies

The 2nd issue is more about kennel development (and this is where the GNex is caught). Given an unlimited amount of time, a good dev can re-base their device's kernel against a more up-to-date vendor-based branch which is easier to maintain.

In this case 3.0.31-dev was the last public dev branch for the OMAP4s. And GNex doesn't have a kernel based on that branch. So challenges for the next OS version are always high.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Clarke33:
So based on your experience, do you think the 4.4 problems will be solved or do I need to start looking for something a little newer? I'm grandfathered on unlimited so I'll buy used. By the way, thanks for your fantastic work on this ROM.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mog44net:
TLDR translation :

1.

Vendors don't care about you once you buy their gear, it's always on to the next device to sell you because the longer a device is current and usable the less devices are sold. Selling devices is after all the purpose of their company no matter how many "We change the world with our super cool devices that you always must have the latest version of to be cool". Actually it's not too far from the Apple sales model. The upside is this constant churn of new product creates competition and innovation.

2.

Hashcode and the other less visible developers do their best to keep our devices current, usable, fast and reliable despite the minor amount of support from these multi billion dollar industry of manufacturers (in comparison to what they are capable of doing for support) . Every time we turn on our Kindle 2 or any number of aged electronics remember the gift we are given by Hashcode and those like him.

Some do it because they are technology purist at heart and want tech to be the leverage that improves our lives, others hope it will give them the experience to someday join the industry in a meaningful and hopefully highly paid way, more still do it because they simply can and are curious.

The truth is I bought this off eBay for $60 because I knew the popularity of the first Kindle fire and was betting we would draw a few devs to keep solid content on our device until the next nexus tablet, etc. The longevity actually surprises me still. I was completely shocked that we got one 4.4 rom much less several.

Make sure to thank our developers and hit the thank button every time they post, show our community who is respected and who is grateful.

1. Boot animation on CM is in different location.

Boot animation is in system/media

Open up the one that is in there to find the size

Let me clarify: I thought that reboot into recovery issue had addressed in http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/58642/

Latest Nightly build included that patch, anyone can confirm?

And anyone could test following command if reboot into recovery would work or not?

just want to make sure if current implementation is correct or not.

adb shell
idme bootmode 7
reboot recovery
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] stevemp:
Still not working. Typing idme bootmode 7, reboot recovery in terminal tablet just shuts down.

Hmm, turned out it seems reboot into recovery never worked on this tablet...

Can you post the console output by execute "idme ?" after "bootmode 7" ?
