If you have problems with gapps not connecting to the internet, set your time and date for the new summer time.

what u should do (my version)
1.Open the box And Start off with a stock Kindle on original 6.2.1 FW
2.Root the Kindle + Install Firefirefire + TWRP using Kindle Fire Utility
3.Extract the contents of the download(cm7barebones-sdcardroot.7z) to the root of your sd card
4.Boot into recovery. (Hold power button until it turns orange when you first power on your Kindle Fire)
5.Make backup
6.Wipe System, Cache,Dalvik Cache
7.Flash "Flash "Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip" - DO NOT REBOOT
8.In TWRP, Click Restore, and choose "STEP_2_CM7BAREBONES". Make sure "Data" is checked and select "Restore Now".
9.Reboot And enjoy.

I tried these steps. When I got to step 7, TWRP says that the zip file cannot be unzipped. It then just hangs on that and I have to do a hard reset. Anyone experience this or know what I'm doing wrong?

It shows a commit that takes recovery off the reboot menu, but its still there. Just wanted to point that out

It came back when CWM came about. You do not want to use it if using TWRP, as it will cause you problem's.

Yeah i read a little deeper and saw that. I have had my kindle for a week now and have twrp on it, and I have been using cm7 for a long time so I accidentally rebooted to recovery from menu once. I need to put cwm on this thing. The new kernel has interactive governor on it which I like. My keyboard especially is way more responsive. Thanks. This is the only Rom I have tried so far and I haven't had a reason to switch.

There's two branches bro, just pull from the gingerbread-twrp branch if you want the reboot recovery option left out.

Edit: That's assuming you are looking into compiling something yourself otherwise sort of moot lol

Yea, I have no problem compiling myself, but some user's like the option. So saves me a step, as I rarely fire up my build box anymore.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I have been searching and with no avail have found an answer. How would I go about installing some of the applications that have been removed? I tried to copy the .apk files and install some but that method did not work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is my personal barebones backup of CM7 that was compiled on 03-25-2012 via the IngCr3at1on/whistlestop/loosethisskin" repo's. Many things have been removed and tweaked.
    No personal information is on it. I have restored it to my two Kindle Fire's without issue via TWRP/CWM. Bare and ready for anyone's use.

    • ICS Themed
    • Custom boot animation
    • Kindle Fire Stock Keyboard
    • intersectRaven kernel OC 1.2Ghz (version 20120207_1949)
    • Modified build prop for more market apps
    • Ad's blocked via host
    • SuperCharged!
    • Gallery3D replaced with QuickPic (much faster)
    • Button Savior to replace "Home, Menu, Back" buttons anywhere.
    • Volume Control to quickly adjust volume anywhere.
    • Gapps included
    • Setup to look like a tablet (not a big phone)

    More screen's attached below!

    GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (one search installed should be enough)
    FOTAKill.apk
    OneTimeInitializer.apk
    Provision.apk
    Cyanbread.apk

    Other stuff removed:
    • Most ringtone, sounds/notifications (need them? Look at the extra section)
    • All languages beside's English (need another language? Look at the extra section)

    Install instructions:

    I urge you to make your own backup before restoring this one!

    1. Extract the contents of the download to the root of your sd card. (You will need 7-zip)
    2. Boot into recovery. (Hold power button until it turns orange when you first power on your Kindle Fire)
    3. To prevent problem's "Factory Reset", wipe "cache", "dalvik cache", and "system".
    4. Flash "Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip" like you would any other rom, but do not reboot afterwords. Go back to the Main Menu instead.
    5. In TWRP, Click Restore, and choose "STEP_2_CM7BAREBONES". Make sure "Data" is checked and select "Restore Now". If using CWM, click backup and restore>advanced restore>CM7_Barebones_Step2>Restore Data
    6. Reboot and enjoy.

    Updating from a old barebones version:
    I always recommend a clean install. But you can try without wiping.
    Just Flash "Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip". No need to do "STEP_2_CM7BAREBONES" (nothing changed). System should be wiped and the new files copied over. If you have problem's, wipe everything and do a clean install.


    Tip's on usage:
    • Swipe up on the homescreen to open notifications.
    • Swipe down on the homescreen to hide/show the statusbar.
    • Button Savior is at the left/middle. (can be changed). Useful when you need to exit a fullscreen app or the statusbar is hidden.
    • Volume Control is at the top/center. (can be changed). Slide finger along the bar to adjust the volume.
    • Home button on the statusbar is mapped to open the app drawer.
    • Note: Install a web browser of your choosing.

    Android Market error -101 and Google problem fixed.
    Supercharger and ad-block got left out on the last release. Fixed.

    New version up. Removed some more un needed things. Check the change-log for specifics. Based on newest commits as of 02-08-2012. Once again, nothing changed in "Step Two". I am trying not to modify "Step Two" often, as I know it would be reason enough for people to wipe completely.

    Upgrade instructions are pretty simple. Just flash "Step One" lol. It will wipe "system" for you. Of-course if you have problem's, then restore the backup you made or start fresh (clean wipe) :) (you did make a backup right ;p

    I spent alot of time creating some batch files to speed the process up on my end. Also makes backing up what I removed alot easier (just in-case someone need's something I removed)

    Reserved:

    Note: If you downloaded within the last 30-min of this post, you might want to download again.
    Note #2: Hold off on downloading. Market is FC'ing. Fixed, tiding up and re-uploading.

    did you update SuperCharged to latest version?
    I did not. Might come in the next version. The current Supercharge seem's just fine to me. I doubt the tweaks for our device would change any, anyhow. Looking at the Supercharger changlog. It just look's to kill a couple bugs (in the install script) and fix some of the user prompt's. Which would not effect anyone using this rom. But none the less. I will try to get it in the next version.
    I went about it by just doing a backup of my System, Data, and boot files in TWRP, did a complete wipe, (Factory reset, System wipe, Cache & D-cache wipe) flashed this updated ROM over with new kernel, then restored my backup file, Data Box checked only, and was back to my good ole setup once again (All apps, wallpapers, etc). And now I have the updated ROM running, Smooth and Easy.
    Like a BOSS :D
    But if I ever change anything to STEP TWO, I could foresee problems.
