Just watched the new video, very impressive stuff from the Kindle 8.9 developer(s) and yourself, fair play for the effort you are all putting in.

Hope to hear more good news from you! Kindle fire hd 7.0 will be more valuable when running android 4.1

We always had multitasking, just no interface for the information that's says what was your recent apps. Multitasking is when you open Pandora, and when you exit the app, music continues to play.

As Hashcode has posted in the Safestrap thread, we don't have a need for that now since we have the bootloader unlocked. I will not be offering any guidance on using Safestrap with this build. Hashcode never did complete that build so it won't work anyway.

When CM10 is released will Amazon Instant Video/Kindle Lending Library etc. still work?

    Greetings all...

    You may be aware that verygreen is working on CM10 development for the 8.9" Kindle Fire HD. I am also working on getting this working on the Kindle Fire HD 7".

    What works:

    -Almost nothing so far. I can get past the bootloader and CWM will run (Thanks, verygreen!), but the CM10 ROM still needs to be developed further. I can flash it, and it appears to complete, but nothing comes up on the screen.

    Trust me, this will be a slow process, but it IS BEING WORKED ON!

    I will post any progress that I make.

    ::UPDATES::

    [12/4] I now have screen working. :)
    [12/5] Boots fully, but no touchscreen and the resolution appears to be wrong. (see image below.)

    [12/7] Touchscreen now works, but is off by 90 degrees.

    [12/8] Basic functionality appears to be working now.
    Wifi works, and screen and softkeys are all working now too.

    Check out the video:


    [12/10] 210 seems to be the magic DPI number for this device. Thanks to all of you who suggested that.

    [12/18] Link to instructions on how to install revrom_alpha1:

    Stay tuned...

    Not to de-rail, this thread anymore, but a very nice XDA user has shipped me his KFireHD7. Specifically to finish the kernel updates which would bring the 7 up to speed with the 8.9.

    I am still quite busy but at least it's just a matter of time now.

    I know it's taking a while for me to get a 7" HD build done; sorry for the loooong delay.

    I'm fighting 1 kernel bug with display, and once that's fixed you guys will be caught up to the HD 8.9" cm10.1 build.

    Which is now very usable with sound.

    Please don't fret folks, there will be progress.

    Hashcode has helped me get his CM10.1 2nd-bootloader incorporated into my current ROM, plus there are others who are working on the kernel.

    Be on the lookout for a new video from me.... soon ™.
