Hey, I want to start by thanking Hashcode as well as everyone else who has contributed to this ROM and Kernel.

I just flashed ROM #3 and Kernel #6 as well as Gapps without a single problem. However, I installed Heywire and was met with a notification that my device is already bound to a number (which is not mine) and when I try to retrieve my password(the only other option) the email is sent to mattweed9@gmail.com, a developer on this site.

I have no clue where to begin to fix this, but I throw myself at the mercy of this thread in hopes that someone knows either how to unbind a Heywire number from a phone, or how to change some identifier on the phone that was obviously set to be the same as Matt Weed's at some point.

Thanks again, and I've had no other problems besides this which is arguably a minor issue.

It is a mac address issue. Just set a new one.

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 THIS thread. Try and keep the development thread clear for development related postings.

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

Just flashed this kernel and now I'm not able to turn on my wifi.
There seems to be an issue with your MAC setup script as MAC does not get assigned properly.

Thank you both, but after a few attempts to randomize my MAC address failed I came back to find the new kernel is out with a fix. After I flashed the kernel the MAC address appeared as "unavailable" and I could not start wi-fi. Do I need to clear caches and reflash the rom as well?

I had that issue with build 6. It worked after a reboot and a bit of patience.
My kindle was picking up other Wi-Fi networks but not mine. It ended up working...

yep, wifi seems to be dead. freshly flashed over the #3 rom. will not find anything, just stalls at "turning wi-fi on".

sl0ttedpig · Apr 23, 2012

Yep, confirmed on my end too. Wifi is actually greyed out. Tried hard reboot a number of times to no avail.

Fix for broken wifi on #7

Looks like the script is not working to fix the Mac address. However, if you go to the /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity folder there is a file named wl1271-nvs.bin.orig rename it in your favorite root explorer and reboot.

This will most likely give you the generic mac address but wifi will work again.

This didn't work for me

Works!

Working on my end. The generic mac address isn't a problem if I only have my KF and my PC, right?

Your KF will work fine as long as it has a unique MAC in a local network (i.e. no other kindle with this kernel)

But it can be a PITA if you have apps that rely on Mac address to identify you (i.e. Tapatalk)

thats weird..verified i renamed the right file...rebooted a couple times and hasn't made a difference for me.

bi2o · Apr 23, 2012

if its the only kf u have but not being able to find ur network, Try logging to your router and kicking out the device that was already connected with the same Mac address.

To clarify this... Rename wl1271-nvs.bin.orig to wl1271-nvs.bin

enabling wifi should then work.

Sorry for the break on wifi. I'll get a new .zip which fixes the files correctly up later tonight.
