How can I enable the option "USB storage"? In the settings of KF I can find nothing. My PC doesn't recognise the device. It was a solution for other devices with changing "build.prop", but it didn't help.

Will there be an alt version available for this ROM?

No

This zip works very nice, especiall solved the Amazon Appstore crash problem. but i can't find any usb-host options in settings. Is it possible with this rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
This Rom automatically acknowledges the usb connection but it takes a few moments for the pc to locate all of the storage folders. Never had a problem outside of that quirk.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pelata:
Hi! Is there a reason why i have two memory partitions in kitkat? With the previous release of this rom I had the entire memory available, now I have 1GB of internal memory and the remaining as "usb archive".

Is there a way to unify both memories to only one?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] K4get:
Hello

First off Great Rom .

The 2013-12-30 update keeps failing to start the download , in any of the Link's , including going right to goo-im any reason or is just me ? LOL
[Kindle Fire Android Development] PRBajista:
I had trouble too. Had to download on the dev host link on my desktop and then double check the md5 because when I did get a full download the md5 didn't match. Finally got one that matched and all is good. I have high speed Internet at home too. Verizon fios. Oh well. Host must have been getting killed with downloads.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pelata:
I'd like to merge the sd card partition to only one, is there a solution? I used a rom that uses the whole memory as internal storage, so I can't understand if it's a rom trouble or a TWRP trouble!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
NVM Used the wrong Gapps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Try this. I have used it for months now and never needed the USB cable.

I am currently in the process of flashing this ROM on my OG Kindle Fire:

TWRP v. 2.6.3.1

It has been sitting at this screen for about 10mins.

Is this normal?

EDIT:

Ok.. I restore my old backup. Then I flashed CM11 over top of it and it worked, but it bootlooped the CM Logo.

So I went back into recovery and wiped the dalvik, cache, and system. Re-Flashed CM11.. I am currently sitting at the CM Logo.

Going to give it 10/15mins before I call it another Bootloop..

If it is a bootloop any suggestions?

EDIT: EDIT: Got it working...

The Amazon Kindle App does not work and crashes from the play store lol.

The Amazon app does not work unless you flash the change to nexus 7

Fastboot/Recovery with stock bootloader

Lovin' this rom so far. I had one issue that was a real bummer. After I installed it, I could not get into recovery or fastboot again (stock bootloader). Anyway, this will do it. You can either do this from the tools directory of the KFT or with regular ADB.

Fastboot:

adb shell su -c 'idme bootmode 4002'
adb reboot

Bootloader

adb shell su -c 'idme bootmode 5001'
adb reboot

Couple of requests.

Fix the reboot recovery options (Available from the developer options)

Add OTG/USB Host support (huge for the KF)

Remove the camera hardware feature.

Some sort of volume control

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mcqueena9845:
You can add volume to the pull down drawer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dburckh:
Yeah, I'm using currently using Volume Control by RubberBigPepper. It works well, but it keeps dying (low memory reaper?)

By the way, I did this for one of the kid's Fires and within an hour the other one was begging me to do it to hers. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
You don't need an external app. Go to Settings-> Interface -> Quick Settings Panel -> Static Tiles/Tiles and Layout -> Click on the "+" symbol. Volume is one of the options.

Hope this helps.

Go into the about section and tap the Android version 7 times. It will enable developer options

Surely you meant to say tap 'Build number' seven times.

What are the steps to get it back to connecting to the computer to re-download this rom zip and flash in TWRP.

I can get into TWRP,

The computer is not recognizing the Amazon Kindle when I connect to PC.

I have used the Android SDK to adb and still it is not being detected.

I have re-flashed this rom many times and stuck...

Need some Help :eek:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Umm I guess the download was incomplete
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serendipityguy:
This is just an ugly soft brick that I cant figure out.

OK, where do I go from here: I want to get the device to be recognized with the computer but it does not.

The device shows up in device manager (WIN 7) and when I go to update the drivers, Windows tells me that the device drivers are already updated.

If I can fix the device being correctly being identified, I can just drop in an re-download from.zip file.

I will attempt to uninstall and re-install the drivers and fire up the Android ASK where the extra files has the usb drivers.

What should I do next?

This is just an ugly soft brick that I cant figure out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serendipityguy:
fire up the ANDROID sdk and push the rom into the Kindle

Being stuck in TWRP, I was able to fire up the ANDROID sdk and push the rom into the Kindle

Here are the steps that I took...

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ the directory where the adb.exe was found and place all of your goodies there such as the rom or the gapps and such. This was conducted on a PC Win 7, but you could extract the adb.exe and place it anywhere you wanted because the adb had to be in the same directory as the files that you want to place into the Kindle via the push commands.

Uninstall the amazon drivers and disconnect the Kindle.

After the kindle was disconnected and no drivers were installed, start up the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 and use it to install the drivers

Connect the Kindle to the computer and the magical moment happen for me right here. The PC noticed and recognized the Kindle for me. From here on it was all downhill

type in the adb commands

Type adb kill-server then enter.

Type adb devices then enter.

Once you see your device listed as 584398823829342343 then you can start the push command

The push the rom "adb push cm-11-20131230-1957-otter-sgt7.zip /sbcard/cm-11-20131230-1957-otter-sgt7.zip" This was very critical to add the slashes into the command. I had to try this 4 times before I figured it out. The forward slash denotes a folder in the scrips

The push the gapps "adb push gapps-kk-20131119.zip /sbcard/gapps-kk-20131119.zip"

disconnect the Kindle, then flash the rom and the google apps and let it do its thing

These were the steps that saved me and I may have missed one or two minor details. I was so driven that I could not give it. It took me 4 hours into the late evening hours but I was able to get the Kindle up and working.

I love the Kindle even more now.

The sideload command could have worked for me but there was not enough documentation found on Google or YouTube ;). It would be nice iif someone could write up a sideload tutorial . . . Or maybe I will write up a push tutorial.

The Rom is solid and I cant get enough of it after this soft-brick accomplishment that left me scared wondering who was going to save me.

It was then that it kicked in 2:00 AM, there is no Calvary coming in to save the day . . .

I would have to learn these applications such as the Android SDK and how to use the adb commands.

Yes, Google did help me big time and the resources here at XDA.

In case it matters... The 12/30 release seems to be a little slower than the 12/15 release. Also, I've had several SODs with the 12/30 release whereas I had none with the 12/15 release. I have reverted in the meantime.

Thanks again for the great ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jtodaro:
Am onboard to yet another new Kindle twa_priv ROM. Great work man. Keep up the amazing work at keeping this slightly outdated hardware mostly up to todays standards.

On a side note, I know with 10.2 (and I think most previous roms), that the microphone didn't work (for google voice searches and such). Do we foresee this in the near future? Is anyone working on that kernel module?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Geko45:
Thanks for mentioning this. I was getting Sleep of Death on 12/30 as well. I saw your post and reverted back to 12/15 and haven't had another yet.

OTG Support Resolved?

I while back, I posted requesting OTG support. I made an interesting discovery today. This ROM does have OTG support. The problem is that it is very limited. Using OTG Troubleshooter I tested a number of devices and only a few worked. If your USB device is compatible, you will get 3 green checks and a question mark. The PQI U822V does work with this ROM.

Unfortunately, it would not work with StickMount. I had install Nexus Media Importer. Once that was installed, I could read the drive. I'm not certain how stable this will be given that there seems to be some sort of hardware issue with Fire, but it is working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Leraeniesh:
You can use a USB hub with external power for greater compatibility.

I've only had luck with one flash drive, and a keyboard when not using external power.

Never tried that. Amazon tries to give Kindle users a hard time. It us an app problem, not a kernel issue. You could try and see. Fir myself, I do not care how my Kindle identifies itself.
