+1 on Viper. Viper is a bit of a pain to install, but it's worth it. The audio quality is pretty amazing. There are plenty of irs files floating around to suit any need.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
I love viper. And i love my profile too

What is viper? Also does this work on any device?

Viper audio is a dsp +. It looks almost identical to the cm dsp manager, but it's hundreds of times more effective. It should work on any rooted android device once properly installed.

Edit: just to be clear, to properly install Viper, the cm dsp manager would have to be completely uninstalled, not just frozen or disabled. If you're regularly using nightlies, it's going to be a pain... I'd highly recommend giving it a try, especially on a device that regularly is used to play music.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Mr. Xplosion Man:
Do I flash zip or unzip
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ffejy462:
Unzip. Install 4.x version in /system/priv-app folder, set permissions (rw,r,r) then reboot. Make sure cm dsp manager is completely unistalled first. Please read Viper thread instructions as well.

Try using ADM Downloader from the Playstore. You can download huge files in record time with that. Viper4Android is all I use. It's a huge difference.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Mr. Xplosion Man:
Don't worry he sent me the apk already.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Dr. Drax:
Thanks very much. I hadn't heard of Viper before, but I tried it with your profile and it sounds incredible. I appreciate your sharing!

Note to anyone else who tries it: the files Persano posted go into /sdcard/ViPER4Android/ which for me didn't get created until I tried saving a test profile. Then, after I loaded his profile, it didn't actually take effect until I disabled Viper (the "master power" checkbox in settings) and reenabled it. Then the difference was obvious.

You need to combine the zImage (the kernel) with a ramdisk to make a full boot image.

Has anyone installed the M9 snapshot on a tate yet? If so, how is it working for you?

You can use the android kitchen to disassemble the boot image, replace the zImage, and re-pack the boot image. Need me to get you a link and some instructions?

Are you adding back the 1024 byte header and re-inserting the stack and 2nd-bootloader? Kitchen wont do these things.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] SafinWasi:
Yeah,I guess that was the problem. More work ? . And add the stack in the ramdisk? How?

Sent from my device running CyanogenMod 11
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
It's messy, you'll need a file (I'll zip it up and PM you) and give me a minute to find the instructions.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] SafinWasi:
Thanks man,appreciate it :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
To just add the stack override file and second bootloader:

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

Now the next small part, you will need to run in bash:

for i in $(seq 1024) ; do echo -ne '\x00\x50\x7c\x80' >> stack ; done

Now, finally:

dd if=stack of=newboot.img bs=6519488 seek=1 conv=notrunc

Here you will find the u-boot.bin and boot_cert files needed for the above process. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7vcp7l4edldcm6x/tate-2ndbootloader-files.zip
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] SafinWasi:
The 2nd step gives an error:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Hmm..... Let me try it on my computer in a few minutes and see what I can do. That line was just copied and pasted from the boot.mk file of the Tate source on github.

EDIT: Okay, I fixed it. There was an extra "$".

Yess!!! My kernel is booting! Thanks a lot man!

EDIT-Check attachment. Hell yeah! I'm gonnaa make a tutorial on this soon
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
I'm messing with the second bootloader and that method and even managed to get into a "second fastboot" mode, where you can have custom fastboot/boot loader commands. So yeah, it's pretty cool. I could get you instructions on making a ramdisk file and making a bootimg, too, if you want.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] SafinWasi:
Umm...ramdisk file? When the Android Kitchen split up hashcode's image,it gave me a zImage and a ramdisk folder. Anyway,you use Line or Kik or Viber? If yes,PM me. XDA PM's aren't gonna take us far on chats...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Yes, the kitchen supplies a folder, but when it packs it back up, it actually turns it into a ramdisk.img. I use Google Hangouts and I have a Kik account.

As you some of you may have noticed: I have a new job working with Linaro Mobile Group beginning 9/1/2014.

This is a HUGE change in my professional career, and I want to be 100% focused on my current duties.

This means, that I will be ending my support for the Kindle Fire devices as official CM maintainer.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be working with CM to get a replacement dev to step in and continue updates / tweaks to the device.

For more information:

https://plus.google.com/111109372727398356624/posts/AtoJ3xLj35b

Lastly, ending my support for the Kindles was a VERY difficult choice. My TODO list is long and extensive with plans for updates well into next year ... To not get around to really polishing many of these builds makes me a bit sad.

BUT, this is where YOU (the community) can step in and make a difference. Continue to push these devices onward. I wish you all well.

Yeah I tried the 08/21 and 08/24 builds and both were unusable. I couldn't open chrome or dolphin without a black screen for about 30 seconds.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Pfhortune:
Hey guys, my KF tate comes in tomorrow (yay for $53 Amazon Warehouse Deals). Any compelling reason why I should go with a recent nightly instead of M9?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ffejy462:
I can't think of one off hand. The M builds are just a nightly from a few days (sometimes longer) ago. Just be careful in the future when Android updates and cm updates a couple days to weeks later. The way cm updater works is that it shows (user selectable) builds based on date of release. The problem is (for a painfully long time) people will download and install the newest release, but if the user is running nightlies and the newest release is a M build, there is a high probability that the M build is actually an older Android version than the nightly. It would flash, for example, a 4.4.3, on a 4.4.4, which usually breaks a few things. If you run M builds, I'd stay on M builds and have the updater only show M builds. If you run nightlies, only flash nightlies. Keep in mind the updater is just a dirty flash, so if there are issues, please clean flash before reporting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] :
Since there's no CM maintainer for this device now given the situation with Hashcode (all the best ;)), is there anything new with the recent nightlies/M builds or are they just the same build being produced over & over from when ever the last commits where added with only CM specific additions?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] joefuf:
Can anyone give me an indication as to how well the ROM runs on a Kindle Fire? I've always been tempted to pick one up, but now I'm really considering it with the Amazon deal going on.

Any major issues overall? How fluid is the experience?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ffejy462:
It beats the heck out of the stock os. It's pretty good, I'd give it 3.5-4 stars versus stock 4.4.4 on a Nexus 7.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] joefuf:
Anything not working at this point? I see it's been in development for quite some time now. Videos, camera, and internet, etc.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ffejy462:
Well, I haven't run into anything major. There have been reports in the past of audio problems and for a while the camera displayed upside down. I use it lightly every day with no glaring problems. Chrome casted a couple episodes of Breaking Bad two nights ago with no problems. I'd recommend this rom on this device. Kinda wish I knew what exactly was on Hashcode's to do list... Maybe some others can chime in with a specific issue they ran into that hasn't been addressed.

Edit: I don't think the GPS was ever fully working. I might be wrong, but I think technically Tate does have a GPS chip, it just was never used... I think that's on the hardware side. I think I read something a long time ago about it. It does have rough gps via network, but not fine gps via sensor.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DrCuddles:
Since updating to the latest nightly I've been getting random crashes. The device just instantly turns off, it's very annoying when I'm trying to work :(
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Are you sure you're on a nightly, or are you on M10? M10 is a little older than the newest nightlies, so random crashes are expected. Try updating again, to the newest nightly.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] laidbackcloud:
after updating to m10 , i am stuck on bootloop(cm logo). how can i fix this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
If you were on the latest nightly before the M10 update then you updated, that would be likely to happen, as the "M" builds are about a week older than the nightlies. Do you flash nightlies or only the M builds?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Milozzy:
Really? I am on M9 and I have yet to see a single crash.

Is it better for me to avoid M10?

HDMI Mirroring & Resolution Issues

[IMG="The KFHD7 in the UX Lab at thunder::tech"]http://i.imgur.com/PTubWh0.jpg[/IMG]

We ordered a new monitor that is full 1920x1080 resolution. After trying some different combinations within terminal emulator, I think what's happening is that the HDMI is mirroring the internal display, pixel per pixel, and either the display or the device is upscaling to 1080p. You can see how the left and right are showing black space because it's outputting a 1280x800 signal, which isn't 16x9. I tried the terminal emulator command "wm size 1080x1920" but that appeared to only affect the density, having nothing to do with the output resolution.

What I would like to have happen is that the device outputs true 1080p, in the right 16x9 proportions, and the internal display shows a scaled down version of this.

Also, a major issue seems to be that if the internal display turns off, it will freeze or crash. Sometimes unplugging the HDMI fixes it, other time it's totally locked up.

I wish I understood more about Android and the hardware to try to fix this myself. Any input would be great, thanks guys.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] RedsonRising:
Boot into twrp and flash a nightly. If you load a M version that is based on a version before the nightly you last had, you'll boot loop. Check the CM site when an M is released to see what day build its based on.
