Could u take a picture of it ?

Here you go, include a negative one (scanner).


As i told, maybe its hardware failure. but this:

When resuming from sleep I get an odd discoloration of the screen, a line down the middle of the screen, and a bit of a reduction in screen resolution. The only thing that fixes the problem is a reboot. I am using hashcode's latest rom with build 4 of the kernel. I'm about to upgrade to build 5 of the kernel and I'll update my post if the issue persists.

Have you switched roms? Try completely wiping everything (except SD card) in TWRP and flashing CM7 or stock to see if that fixes the problem...if not restore to stock and unroot and exchange it for a new one...

My secret is out!

I added the OTG settings into build #6 and planned on testing it whenever I had time.

Great work on checking this out and the video :)

I can add the needed modules into the kernel if we want:
ftdi_sio
hid
mousedev
pl2303
usb-storage
usbhid
usbkbd
usbmouse
usbserial

scsi_wait_scan (already in /system/lib/modules)

Thoughts?

What kind of keyboard are you using? Did you need a powered USB hub for the keyboard to work or did it give enough current
On its own? Thx in advance.

I hate to post here but its bugging me. Is there anything specific to 3.0 that could cause TWRP to not be able to flash the zip? I cannot flash anything with TWRP 2.0.0 or 2.1.1

Excellent work Hash and others that have contributed to bugfixes. The only issue that I am having is when I wake the kindle up from "sleep/screen off?" it flutters or flickers and then displays properly within a second.

Other than that, no issues whatsoever, Kindle works perfectly with my OEM wall charger and shows charging. On my pc usb cable I don't believe it is supplying enough positive mA to charg so if for instance the kindle by itself on uses 500 mA but my pc usb port will only supply 400mA then because there's never a supply above the current mA draw then it will never show charging. For the last 15 mins with the kindle plugged to my pc usb it has never showed charging but my kindle has not yet dropped below 65%.

USB 2.0 I believe has a maximum supply of 500mA
USB 3.0 I believe can reach upwards of 900mA
The OEM wall charger i think can supply over 1000mA

Im testing current draw from my USB 2.0 port for the next 30 mins with the screen sleep set to 30mins and the screen at the lowest brightness settings.
and then i will test my USB 3.0 port the same, and last i will test the wall charger to see the outcome.

I'm logging everything with Battery Monitor widget.

TWRP 2.1 would not work at all for me and I tried about 20 times. But twrp 2.0 booted up the first time with no issues whatsoever.
+1 to checking the download. Match the Hash's to confirm it properly downloaded.

KERNEL TEST #7 CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://bit.ly/IxGCRu
md5sum a1ae2c787ddf171dc3f0e64c81d76a48

CHANGES:

- LCD Timing has been corrected to match stock Amazon kernel ** THIS MAY HELP WITH BANDING -- PLEASE LET ME KNOW**

- This patch also implements a fix for the universal MAC address that is seen on previous tests. While this is more of a ROM patch in general, it's based out of the init.*.rc files and executes a one time script on the first boot which will generate a unique MAC address per device. This MAC address will be restored anytime you format /system and reflash. This will most likely need some testing and be tweaked over time.

- The charger was patched with source changes in the 6.3 stock kernel -- this includes another wakelock for charging. I doubt this will help a ton, but let me know.

- The following OTG-related modules have been added into the kernel: ftdi_sio, hid, mousedev, pl2303, usb-storage and usbhid
There were some specific overriding drivers which I chose not to add at this time (usbkbd and usbmouse). We can determine of those should be built as separate modules at a later time.

- IntersectRaven's WIFI Patch to power the wifi card on and off correctly (reduction of heat?) is also included

As always report user issues in the other thread. Try and keep this thread clear for development related postings.

NOTE: all of the devtree projects were updated with the new kernel, wifi MAC fix and module changes.

    • Uses ducati binary from TI based on rpmsg 1.20.5.11 (replaced Archos ducati binary from ICS 4.0.3)
    • Kernel audio: Added a switch device "h2w" which allows the OS to recognize headset plug events and adjust audio capture routes accordingly. Translation: OS can recognize we have a MIC input via headset now. (NOTE: that audio recording is still not working at this time. Tho it is very close).
    • MUCH better standby / sleep function. The device will go inactive for much longer periods of time (80-100 seconds) while still waking up appropriately for wifi events, power button triggers, etc. And this is still going to get even better when I re-implement DPLL cascading and the charger fixes coming later.
    • Many bugfixes pulled down from TI's omapzoom sources.

    DEVELOPER BUILDING:
    Several patches are outstanding in CM's review so building this from source is currently not an option w/o some Cherry Picks:
    Patch 1: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53917/
    Patch 2: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54562/

    And I'll be updating more of the cm11.0 gits tonight w/ changes to the build / extract files processes.
    Won't get a decent build till that's all done.



    KNOWN BUGS:
    1. EHCI USB 2.0 isn't able to be add to the kernel w/o it crashing. Need to fix for higher speed USB transfers.
    6. Headset recording via the MIC input jack doesn't work

    BUILDING THIS ROM:

    First, read through Google's Android website about "how to setup a build environment":
    http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

    Then you can setup the Kindle Fire by doing the following:
    mkdir android
    cd android
    (Use main repo for CyanogenMod 10.2)
    repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android -b cm-10.2
    repo sync
    vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
    . build/envsetup.sh && brunch otter

    [09/16] CM10 STOCK + 4AI.1.7 KERNEL [STABLE]
    Download Here
    md5sum: b5746745f62c20ed5f6a2520ca506982

    Changes for 09/16:
    • Charging is now fixed. Including basic OTG support. Test away and I can make tweaks as needed. There may be a bug where adb doesn't restart after OTG devices are enabled.
    • Backlight / Panel driver updated. This was probably causing some of the battery drain.

    EDIT: "now" fixed.

    Enjoy.

    I just wanted to do a quick update:

    Got my new device yesterday, and immediately put twrp, fff 1.4a and ICS on it.

    Should be good to pick up where I left off w/ the kernel now.

    Hope to have a new version in a few days.

    New kernel/ROM based on the 4AI.1.7 release are getting a lot better (IMHO) so I'm probably going to do another kernel/ROM release here soon.

    Here's an update of what's coming in the next release:

    1. Kernel Audio source: Added a switch device "h2w" which allows the OS to recognize headset plug events and adjust audio capture routes accordingly. Translation: OS can recognize we have a MIC input via headset now.
    2. Audio HAL module: updated to TI's latest source to help with #1 and future support for USB audio, etc.
    3. Lights HAL module: removed conflicting battery light operations. The kernel manages the battery light entirely. The OS should almost never do anything with it.
    4. (NEW to JB) Power HAL module: used by the OS for temporarily kicking up the CPU during certain events (using the interactive governor) -- this makes the system more responsive. This feature is also still under development over time and I'll continue to update it.
    5. HW acceleration / graphics buffer system: Completely updated sources from TI for the hwcomposer, libion and other graphics / buffer systems
    6. Along w/ #5 I was able to roll up to the latest PowerVR driver 1.9@2130229 (up from 1.8@945322 in the last build). I noted right off the bat
    less GL issues and smoother game play.

    I may take a night or 2 and continue to play with the MIC settings to see if we can get it working, and that would be the delay in this release (if any).

    But, in general, the build for the Kindle Fire is a getting a lot cleaner (IMHO). And that's always a good thing.


    Still working on:

    - Memory management: I'm still not happy with how the OS is unloading certain processes at times (acore?!), and I'll be working with some of the ROM devs to setup better memory management in this main sources at GitHub. No reason why every dev should need to work that stuff out.
    - MIC function. Getting close, but I need to probably spend 2-3 more nights following audio routes and watching the OS setup the Audio input devices when the headset is plugged in.
    - Charger function. This is the big kahuna. Been a while since I worked on it, probably time to jump back into it.
