I am able to shut off by powering down via ICS menus, then when the unit is "turned off" (the screen is black, but backlight is still on) I hold the button for 20 seconds and it turns off ok!
Uh, it's not his fault your Kindle fire edition games don't work - it's amazon's fault for making the apps specific to kindle! The roms make your KF into a vanilla android OS, so naturally your goofball KF-specific APK's aren't going to work. The build.prop is set up so we can get apps from Market and the likes OK.
What other performance issues are you having? I am curious. Problems with 3D Acceleration or something? Please let me know so I can try too
I have had no problems with video acceleration, personally, aside from the sound issue.
The wifi issues and powering down issues are related to Kernel 3.0. If you don't like the BLEEDING EDGE go back to stock KF and read books or whatever you do
Good to know it's not just me...
Thanks, I will try this out soon if it isn't fixed in the ROM itself
I am using this build, whatever it is:
is it 1.15?
...from a clean wipe/davlik cache wipe
Aside from the Volume+ hack, is there any hope to getting this fixed?
Thanks for the support and great ROM!
[EDIT] Volume+ APK w/ speaker boost to 13 makes this ROM 100% complete for me! Wooo! Perfect ICS for KF

I said its the kernel and build.props's fault. Nobody blames anybody. I just said ICS is a downgrade overall and it is for now. Why do you seem so angry and defensive? We are beta testing the ROMs and problems need to be noted to get it fixed.
The games I am talking about are order & chaos, dungeon hunter 2, eternal legacy, backstab hd and more. They are many of the best games on any tablet. Most you cannot even play at all on ICS even through the play market. But on Modacos ROM all work great.
If you use Modacos ROM, it is stock pretty much but he allows you to have way more apps on play market and also has some performance tweaks and everything works great. Videos work flawlessly. Streaming and ones on your tablet HD. Add any launcher and you are fine.
IN this ICS ROM go to play market and you cannot even download dungeon hunter 2 for example. It does not open up a ton more apps compared to Modaco and stock. Some new ones appear, but others disappear too.
In ICS I have had a lot of different issues in video, stream freeze up sometimes or some certain players or apps do not work period. As noted by many the WiFi is not working well so you cannot really do anything if you have that specific bug. Look one post up from mine the guy says MX player does not work right, i have it working 100% on modacos rom.
As for the amazon market, the kindle fire apps are all missing on the ICS ROM, but all are there on Modacos ROM. The market gives you a free app everyday. Most are bad, but some are nice and not being able to play those and the ones I bought in the past is a big minus for ICS. BTW most of the games on there are available to other tablets too, not just the fire, look at the reviews and see for yourself.
Other issues with ICS are decreased battery life, charging problems(kernel i know), poweroff issues, and many more. It charges slower and lasts less time with ICS that is a big problem if you use it a lot.
It is just not stable or an upgrade when you add it all up for the moment. Nobody is saying stay on stock kindle unrooted, that is terrible.
Best option is a rooted MOdaco ROM right now IMO. It can play all the games and more than ICS, it can watch all the videos and more than ICS, its not just for reading books... again why so angry?
I love the ICS and hope it all gets fixed so I can switch back, but its not there yet. Great work up to now, just will take a lil more time.
Also, volume+ is inferior to equalizer in every way. Look up equalizer app on play market and enjoy!
My post is meant for people that read "ICS is so awesome it works so nice!!" It is not true. There are benefits, but also a lot of negatives to switching from something like Modacos ROM to ICS at the moment. I think by a review like mine, people get the truth ad can better decide and not have to go around trying them all how I have just to go back to the Modaco i had for months.
