EDIT tomorrow thou as its 2am here already:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
?? clock is it different from the stock slim one?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
lovejoy, thanks so much! looking forward to updating tomorrow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I'm not sure. Before I switched to the OtterX I was running CM11 and the cLock widget had Yahoo weather. The widget on this ROM, as far as I know, doesn't. That's why I was asking the question.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
its a problem with wifi location. the new play services update which is needed for all the updated google apps, breaks location services. its google started doing things differently but im sure it will get worked out. apparently it needs something activating in the rom builds. im looking into it as much as i can. but the answer to your question is its the same clock. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
see a little here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722508

kindle fire 1st gen location does not work with new play service
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
p.s its building :)

my kindle is sat here with a new 2.05 bootloader 2.7.0.1 twrp and awaiting (drumroll) slimkat 5.4 with F2FS and 5.4 slim gapps :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
The cLock I use is found here:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
does it give the location weather?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
Only if you enter a location.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
it would be nice if this build fixes wifi location. im using a different source for the kernel, maybe its in there??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=5852258]Idontwantausername[/MENTION] did you find anything on the problem of the play services update?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
WOW pure speed guys!!!

Its uploading but its 3.45 now and I need sleep.

I may as well put it out there. I am willing, and would like actually, to contribute to development for the KF. (I will certainly be donating some coffee money in the near future.) However, I don't have a clue where to begin when it comes to building android. Any pointers? Do you even need another person in the mix?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I have a build environment, produced a good zip file of CM11. It takes 5.5 hours to make that build. SO I am ready to help with Lollipop. Where is the repo?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
10 mins mate. which repo do you want? slim or cm?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
The easiest way is to first install Ubuntu. (Either on a VM or a dual boot or dedicated or get a VPS or whatever. ) it needs to be 64bit
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I really enjoy reading about the steps and effort that goes into building Android. Thanks for keeping it in the thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
This guide isn't updated for lollipop so you will need java 7. I also recommend you install Ubuntu 14.04 or 14.10 rather than 13.10 since 13.10 is losing support.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I would like to build slim, as that is my favorite. For others, I have set up openSUSE in Virtual Box. The slim threads actually had good support for the setup, since there was a symbolic link needed for one of the programs. All of my build errors were simply missing depends. Like Linux, a list of depends did not always resolve issues; always had to look.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
I've got OpenSuse. Will that be okay (because I have a general dislike of Ubuntu)?

PS: I'm not trying to piss anyone off. If you like Ubuntu, great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
As long as it has all of the required packages to build it should be fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I am using openSUSE, and it works just fine after setting up. Use Yast or zyyper.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
I'm going to try to build it too! I just set up my environment, and syncing slimroms LP repo. I've never done this before so I am following the guide posted earlier for the time being.

Edit: I don't have as much free time as I thought... Gonna try to build something, but I probably won't be producing anything anytime soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
While the focus of late has been LP, if I'm reading the changlog for SlimKat 8.12.1 correctly, it looks like some things were tweaked to make it happy with GCC/Linaro 4.9. Perhaps it would be beneficial in the meantime to update the KK we currently have to get some more speed. (If I just nominated myself for this, it might be a while. FYI)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
my latest build (not released) was compiled with gcc4.8. my pc is a little busy at the minute:) if i get fedup with errors i will do a quick 4.4 sync and build as its a different local source tree, so its independent of my slimpop attempt's:).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Howdy [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION], glad to see you hanging around. Hope the new job is going well.

Ok guys, Kindle back Online. Charges slowly, but charges.

Holy Mother of God, Thanks so Much!:good::good::good::highfive::highfive::highfive:

Who isnt, tell me:D

Count me in too!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Nice! Glad it worked out!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
That's what mine was like when the charging port went bad. It charged really slowly, but over time it sped up. The only reason I haven't fixed it is because one of the screws for the motherboard is worn out, and won't unscrew. Now my kindle charges fast, but it has a broken screen and a bad USB port, but it still works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
www.powerbookmedic.com (I don't represent them) usually has KF parts at good prices, in case you want to replace anything. The easiest way to find the parts is to type "kindle fire" in the search box.

Are you able to get a fingernail, small screwdriver blade, or small knife blade under the screw to put upward force on it while unscrewing it? Just a thought.

Have you tried a free VPN? Like vpnbook?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
[MENTION=5358604]rjmxtech[/MENTION] I will try VPNBook when I go back to school on Monday, but I have to do a project for my science class (I am making a NFC locker using my Arduino) so I will be busy with that. :(:( I can still test [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] :D:D I would love to have a working Lollipop port for this device before Monday. Good luck on making the build! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
The charging port.

I will still try for LP, but i cant test it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
[MENTION=5417966]androvista[/MENTION] Have you tried charging it at an angle (Putting the charger on an elevated surface and the kindle on a lower surface, like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tgeQaUrxqVejluaE9zeFNyQnc/view?usp=sharing), and have you tried charging it using a USB hooked up to a computer? Those worked for me. Good luck in getting your kindle fixed! :fingers-crossed:

Also, since your kindle is dead (I presume), when my kindle dies, it will only charge with the USB until 10%, then I switch it to wall outlet. Maybe this will work for you. :fingers-crossed:;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Tried. Doesnt work:(

Edit: [MENTION=4551511]Vlasp[/MENTION], It actually is Working! Thanks! But do you charge your kindle like this everyday? With the usb elevated? No other position is working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AtomicFizzle:
I would be surprised if anyone had a original kindle at this point with a good usb port, if you use it a lot. I've had to do that trick for a while now. I also have to use the original wall charger.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I have to apply upward pressure on my Kindle for it to charge. I cannot get a source download to complete so that I can work with cm-12. I can build cm-11 all day long. Wish I could help, but no sources.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
For those with USB port issues, there are several good video tutorials on YouTube that show how to disassemble the KF and resolder the USB port. Assuming it's just the solder points that are bad it's quite easy to fix.

If the port itself is broken, you could get a new port (they're around US$7) or just get a new motherboard (US$10 here http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Kindl...-REGISTER----Good-Micro-USB-Port-p-27164.html ) which is what I did and my KF has been working great since.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
I do have to charge my kindle this way all the time, but I have gotten over it. I only use my kindle at home or school, so i never use it in the car enough so that it runs out of battery. I use my phone for that :p. At my school, I usually just hook my kindle up to a computer and put the charger on an elevated surface.

Good job on getting it fixed!:good:

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

My kindle's motherboard has a stripped screw, so I can't fix the part... :crying: But it is fine how it is.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
I have an original with a good USB port, it was my wife's until I got her a nexus 7 a few months ago. It never left the house which probably explains why it's in such good shape. I now take it with me to school to play around with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Glad to hear it works for now. If you're ever up for it, a small Dremel type tool or a drill (perhaps in a drill press) could grind or cut the screw head off. One less screw isn't an issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redbean25:
I use a dremel to cut a slot in the screw head. Then use a flat screwdriver instead of a Phillips. Works every time!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe I will try this over my Thanksgiving break. :D

[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Just a random guess, but try cleaning around it with Q-tip and a little rubbing alcohol. (As opposed to the drinking kind....save that for yourself if it doesn't work.)

That is probably the safest way to clean the area. If that doesn't work, you would probably need to open it up.

Kindle Fire bricked?

[ROM][4.4.4] CyanogenMod Linaro Builds for OtterX [8/22/2014] was installed in my Kindle Fire with TWRP 2.7.1 and it was working fine. I tried to isnstall SlimKat ROM today following the instruction, doing wipe in TWRP. The installation was successful without any error message, but when rebooted, problem started. Can see SlimKat logo but them constant error messages like system stopped working would not boot up. Tried to start under Recovery mode by holding power button, had no effect. Appears TWRP also got wiped off. Is there any Slim chance to recover my bricked KF? Please respond with suggestions.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Do you have working adb and fastboot on a computer? Turn device off, open terminal window, type adb devices than plug device into a computer. If you get a device number adb works. Repeat steps but type fastboot devices and see if you get a device return.

If both adb and fastboot return a device number you are golden, just fastboot a recovery to device and try reflashing a ROM.
