On AOKP it was showing Amazon twice which is why he changed it, but I think he changed it on CM9 by accident. No Amazon complaints or anything

if you got a keyboard like swiftkey you can use vi itself.

open a console on the kindle with Connectbot (for example)

#su
#vi /system/build.prop
--use the arrow keys to get to the proper char
--hit A
--type in Amazon space making sure it reads Amazon Kindle Fire
--touch the screen then touch on screen Esc button
type :w
then :q

and you're done

A note on charging.

While on a standard USB2 plug (or other <1A USB plug), it doesn't appear to charge while powered on (charges fine while powered off).

I was able to get it to show charging when I plugged in to a USB3 port on my UD3 motherboard, but I am having some driver wonkiness with ADB which really freaked my system out.

So, it would appear, if you want to charge via USB, do it via USB3 (with the extra power availability.

I think its charging, just not at full power. I had mine plugged in to USB and was watching Netflix. After 1 hour the battery only dropped 2%. I unplugged it and continued watching and it dropped another 15% after about 40 minutes.

Keep in mind that the stock kindle fire can barely be charged by a computer's USB port. This is because the computer's USB port can only manage .5A. This is why the fire ships with a charger that does 1.7A.

The reason the name was is changed was my fault I guess it was showing up in the amazon play store as amazon amazon kindle fire vs just amazon kindle fire and we both thought that it was because Hash had typed to name wrong so he changed to what you guys see now. It will get updated.

You're right; happens in Google's store too (see attachment.) Guess we'll have to take a silly looking name for the sake of compatibility.

I reverted the name change on github and fixed the 04-22 ROM build which was broken here:

You should have made a version change, even for this small fix: 4-22a or something like that.

It would be clearer. BTW, thanks for your kernel, I do really enjoy my KF.

I completely agree in theory.

The reality is that that some of the links are posted around the internet and people will continue to download the wrong ROM (not knowing there's an update).

So in this case, I tend to over-write the offending file.

Been thinking about touch sensitivity quite a bit today as I've been demoing AOKP 33r2 and 34 to coworkers (who are still too chicken to do this to their Fires).

I've noticed that touching works perfectly if you just barely make contact with the screen, rather than the normal 'push' action that we're used to with touch screens. A quick tap also seems to have the same effect.

I get the most errant scrolling when I try and push like there's an actual button there.

This leads me to believe that one of two things might be going on:

1. The polling interval for the digitizer might be set too fast, and is reading a push multiple times (initial contact, then the wider contact patch of a full-on press).
2. The software that determines whether a touch action is a touch or slide is tuned too sensitive and is reading the wider contact patch as a movement.

These could also be the same thing, just two sides of the same symptom.

I have source for a linux mainline v3.3 Ilitek Touchscreen driver and as soon as things slow down I'm probably going to implement it for 2 reasons:
- The code is more generic and easier to upgrade for the future
- It's an ICS compatible touchscreen driver (where the current is more Gingerbread compatible and we use additional settings to make it work)

Once that's in-place I can work with a group of testers to craft the "perfect" settings for our device. Going to be a bit tho. :/

Hash if you are going to work on the driver, you will implement the multitouch too?

Last I heard it had been decided the kindle couldn't do more than two touches due to hardware issues so I don't think the drive will help. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong

The difference is between a "driver" and "firmware" -- the touchscreen hardware has firmware which only supplies a two-point touch. The "driver" is merely what interfaces the hardware with the operating system. The driver might interact with the hardware better, but it will not alter its core capability as a new firmware would. AFAIK we don't have access to the touchscreen firmware so at this point it's a solid "no" going forward.

Good point! I didn't thought about that.

My kindle is dead and whenever I try to charge it, It boots to bootloader for a second shuts off and repeats over and over and over. If you can help PLEASE REPLY.
