There a today's build from hashcode including the latest kernel: http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/otter/cm9/

EDIT: Don't forget to also flash gapps right after flashing the cm zip since the updater script wipes the /system partition.


I just tried this and still no sound. It seems like my Kindle doesn't like this kernel for whatever reason :(
. If I try any other ROM CM7 or even CM9 builds sound works..everything else works fine though..

Am I the only one who can't get ADB working in normal mode with this CM9 build ? When I connect my tablet even if USB Storage isn't enabled Windows recognizes the device as a drive called "Am" (for Amazon I think) and installs very quickly the driver... I tried reinstalling the driver with KFU and manually updating the driver but no luck... ADB/KFU doesn't recognize the Kindle. In Recovery ADB works fine so I don't think there is a problem with my drivers. And with CM9 Reloaded it worked. Any idea? Thanks :).

Just a further comment. the last couple of builds the kindle has showed up as either AM or Amazon and the device is only recognized as an android phone. this causes the Kindle Fire Utility to work only part of the time. i noticed when rebooting that the Kindle is first recognized as a Kindle but then switches over to one of the aforementioned choices. i suspect something changed in the kernel (maybe the init file) is causing this problem. all attempts to install the proper drivers in windows have failed and i don't know enough about adb to make this work.

concerning videos, i had full screen in the landscape mode when using my browser to watch Amazon instant videos when using build 3. with build 6, i can watch these videos again but portrait mode actually displays a larger picture than landscape mode. in build 3 it was exactly the opposite (i used to have a small picure surrounded by a black screen in portrait mode this is now what i see in landscape mode in build 6).

Thanks again, for all your hard work, Hashcode! I hope I have provide enough information to help you debug these problems.

Add I'm sure everyone agrees, the kernel is awesome! I'm my in my opinion, it ran much smoother at 1.2 GHz tho

For those with issues, try this. Some development on the nexus s forum require this method when installing new roms :

Wipe everything, system, both caches, factory reset.

Install rom.

Flash gapps.

Reboot. Sign into Google and let your phone finish booting.

Reboot into recovery.

Wipe both caches.

Install kernel. Reboot.

Report back.

If you go to advanced wifi options you can choose to turn off wifi when sleeping.


As for my issues, my Wifi connection keeps dropping as I am using the device. I have to go back to the Wifi settings and click scan a few times to get the connection back.

See my logcat: pastebin.com/zB3Jd971

Can anyone confirm that wifi is actually goes to sleep when the screen goes off? I've found the option stated above and made the appropriate selection "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" -> NEVER, yet the wifi does not go off when the screen blanks (even after 20-30 minutes).

using cpu spy, it says that it does in fact go into deep sleep. according to mine anyway
but my battery drain is ridiculous while asleep so im inclined to believe that something extraneous is going on behind the scenes

Great work hashcode,

I have four kindle's connected to my network. When I started updating them with new kernel all are coming online with same mac address.:confused:

Any one have a clue where I should start looking to change? Any help apreciated.

I am also having an issue with it coming up as an unknown device on win 7. Well build 5.2 did, haven't tested build 6 yet, but I'm assuming the same.

Also, having CRAZY battery drain. It doesn't seen like the fire is actually going into deep sleep. Dropped 50% battery in about 4hrs with no use. I left the house, and came back to a dead kindle.

Same here - crazy battery drain.

That's one of the reasons I started looking at wifi. Usually when wifi "sleeps", there is a re-initializing (re-connecting to the wifi network) that happens, however that's not the case -- wifi appears to never really sleep, at least for me.

I'm currently working on the 1st attempted fix of the banding/striping issue on the display when resuming and the battery drain / charging issues.

It's taking me a bit to troubleshoot and work through some issues.

I appreciate the patience. As always please be careful while using the new kernel. Power the device off when not in use and leave it connected to USB when you can while using it.

Thanks Hashcode

First off great work Hashcode - really amazing!

the striping issues others have reported has not happened on my device. since i have been lurking around here for a while i did watch the dev on this kernel. My theory is that with the two different displays only one type is striping/banding, as i have not had any issue with that even after leaving my kindle asleep all day (over 12 hours)

i am noticing the battery drain however - and i dont know if this is normal but my led seems to stay green when the device is asleep. i will continue to hunt down bugs and seeing as i cannot post in a dev forum yet i will update my findings here in the general section. Hopefully my limited knowledge will help

Thanks Again,
D.L33T

Hashcode, I know you can't be everywhere at once, so I don't know if you have seen this.

Energy Rom post 3 Changelog:

•The correct sleep/wake frequencies are now preset (600,000 min/max for sleep and 600,000/1200000 min/max for wake)

Can anyone confirm that wifi is actually goes to sleep when the screen goes off? I've found the option stated above and made the appropriate selection "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" -> NEVER, yet the wifi does not go off when the screen blanks (even after 20-30 minutes).

I also had it on "Wifi Never" and my wifi wasn't going off, so I got Green Power (free) from Play Store. Changed my KF sleep policy to Keep Wifi on during sleep- Always and in Green Power selected "override wifi sleep policy", which is actually selected by default. So, just check manage wifi and let it do it's thing.

Now, when I turn off the screen my wifi goes off. When you turn the screen back on, there is a slight delay in wifi coming back on....but it is slight. I've only been using it for a day or two but it appears to be helping with the battery a bit. It's a good workaround until Hashcode gets it fixed.

updated information re: Prime video. I turned my display all the way up and now i have 3/4 screen in landscape. full screen in build 3 must have been allowed by brightness. also sound was better in build 3 now need headset to hear.

    NEW KERNEL IS CHARGING. OS DOESN'T SHOW THE CHARGING ICON.
    Make sure when you plug in to check the Settings -> Battery screen and see "Charging"


    06-28: KERNEL.ZIP #13 IS NOW READY HERE (FLASH IN RECOVERY): REMOVED TEMP
    (Recompiling w/o Linaro for compatibility)
    md5sum: a16c281fa3dbe0962c6dc2c03e6df5bc

    md5sum: d9dfe6f5f97eadbeaecc86d0314cb80e
    - Mainline Linux 3.0.31 updates
    - TI kernel 3.0.21 branch updates
    - [ROM-Only] Now w/ "OtterParts where the touchscreen filter setting can be set (0 as default, but 30 is very usable) -- (Scott Brady)
    - Built using Linaro toolchain
    - Added KRAIT optimizations (not sure how effective yet) (twa_priv)

    NOTE: I haven't adjusted the nightly server to use the 3.0.31 kernel OR Linaro yet. This is the only ROM link I've built with it in it.


    [06-27-2012] UNOFFICIAL NIGHTLY SERVER IS RUNNING:
    DOWNLOAD HERE
    GApps: http://goo.im/gapps (4/29 is the latest in the CM9 row)
    These builds are using a stock framework which includes the volume slider mod. It's kept up-to-date by twa_priv.

    STEPS FOR UPDATING:
    1. Download .zip file from the nightly server and place on your device
    2. Reboot into recovery and apply .zip
    3. If coming from any ROM which is not CM9 please wipe data/cache/Dalvik Cache
    4. Reboot and enjoy

    LATEST CHANGES:
    [06-26-2012] Added sbradymobile's touch filter patch + OtterParts for controlling the filter level (30 recommended, default as 0 for now) (under Settings -> Advanced) [THANKS!]


    SOLO KERNEL NOTES:

    06-08: KERNEL.ZIP #12 IS NOW READY HERE (FLASH IN RECOVERY): http://bit.ly/KPbDVm
    md5sum: e7476ff785b2dfbdb062e1cc036c14ac
    - Touchscreen driver changes (event optimization, ICS friendly)
    - Updated the WLAN driver to R5.00.18 (up from R5.00.5)
    - Cleaned up the charger code some more (part of on-going charger work)
    - Added more support for PPTP and L2TP connections
    - [NEW 06/08] Added CCMP support used in 802.11i for EAPOL/WPA2/IPSEC connections using 4-way handshakes (Will fix some users who can't connect to wifi at certain locations)


    TROUBLESHOOTING FOR USB not being recognized in Windows 7 (while the Kindle is *NOT* plugged into computer):
    - Open Device Manager
    - Right-click your computer name and select "Show Hidden Devices"
    - The top device group should be: Android device(or phone): under it "Android ADB Composite device"
    - Right-click on that and select uninstall
    - Now plug the Kindle back into the computer and let driver re-install


    IF FOR SOME REASON WIFI DOESN'T WORK ON THE FIRST BOOTUP DO THE FOLLOWING:
    Enter Terminal Emulator
    Type: su
    Type: fix-mac.sh
    Exit Terminal Emulator
    Reboot


    THIS ROM SHOWS OFF HOW WELL ICS CAN RUN ON THE KINDLE FIRE.
    ** READY FOR DAILY USE **


    If I had just installed this ROM and I wanted to see something that might not work in the stock-kernel based ICS ROM, then I'd try the following:
    - Install "Chrome Beta" from the market and test it out.
    - Audio is more stable.
    - Launcher is smoother due to full PVR graphic support
    - Try YouTube!

    For user support, look to this thread! Please keep discussion here as to what works and what doesn't, etc.

    I think we can safely agree that the charger driver has issues and it's being worked on. And that each user should ensure that their device charges correctly without the aid of seeing the charging icon in the status bar.

    The details are really irrelevant.

    ONCE AGAIN KEEP IT CIVIL. WHICH MEANS: don't accuse each other of lying, call each other names, or use otherwise inflammatory remarks.

    While rude and insensitive, its also mucking up my thread which is supposed to be a useful resource.

    I say this as someone who religiously pages through almost every thread in this area and often could respond badly to poorly worded kernel demands, etc. It doesn't take much to turn a well intentioned post into something worse. And sometimes its due to language barriers or other issues which are beyond control.

    A thick skin is almost a requirement in any public forum setting.

    /rant

    On a side note the new driver is working with the OS: I get a charging icon when plugging in. Now on to removing the extra battery device, fixing suspend and a pleathora of mode switch issues.

    TEST BUILD #3 IS READY HERE: http://bit.ly/IShcSq

    There are 2 changes for this build:
    - HW Codecs are now working.
    - Kernel included in this build is running "silicon type performance" mode. Meaning it's a stock overclock to 1.2 Ghz. Please test this as well.

    If you have ANY issues with the 1.2 Ghz speed and want to step back down to 1.0 Ghz do the following:
    - Enter "Settings"
    - Choose "Performance" (at the bottom)
    - Click "Ok"
    - Select "Processor" (the first item on the right)
    - Choose "Maximum CPU frequency"
    - Set this to 1008
    - Then check the "Set on boot" option
