It is a standard ps3 controller. I was a bit naive when I bought my kindle in assuming it had bt. I should have checked lol. Anyway that's why I'm going down to otg route. While I have your attention, how would I go about starting to learn about everything android? I want to start learning to program so I can be of more assistance in these forums in the future. Are there any really good books I can go have a read at?

    hey guys! Using a factory cable I got into fastboot. Once in fastboot I downloaded TWRP image for the kindle fire 1 http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/blaze/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-blaze.img then I typed

    Code:
    fastboot -i 0x1949 boot Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-blaze.img

    but after doing that it just booted back into fastboot so then I did the same thing but right after the image got downloaded onto the device, I entered the command again and it booted right into TWRP. It takes a few tries but it works. Touch points all work but I am not sure about anything else. Hope this helps with further development.

    * PLEASE DONT TRY ANYTHING UNLESS YOU OWN AND UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE A FASTBOOT CABLE. ALSO MAKE BACKUPS OF THE STOCK PARTITIONS IN CASE OF DISASTER RECOVERY *

    Regarding building a TWRP for KFire2:
    I replied in a PM but thought that maybe the information could also be used by the general KFire2 population.

    recovery.fstab:
    This is close. But, sdcard is handled very differently on otter2 (KFire2). Try this instead:

    Code:
    /sdcard	 	datamedia	/dev/null
    /data		ext4		/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata
    /cache		ext4		/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/cache
    /system		ext4		/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system
    /boot		emmc		/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
    /recovery	emmc		/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery

    I took the liberty of removing "dangerous" partitions from the list.

    Now I don't think you'll want to actually flash anything other than: data/cache/system. As it will most definitely break the signature checking on the partition.

    That being said, I am working on a long-term goal of supporting both kf1 and kf2 via a 2nd-bootloader and some adjustments to the current bootloader that the kf1 uses (IE: allow it to load the signed kernel/recovery partitions which are needed for kf2)

    And changes to BoardConfig.mk
    Also,

    Make sure you have these options set in BoardConfig.mk (some may already be there which is ok):

    Code:
    TW_NO_REBOOT_BOOTLOADER := true
    TW_NO_REBOOT_RECOVERY := true
    TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/data/media"
    TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "data"
    RECOVERY_SDCARD_ON_DATA := true
    TW_ALWAYS_RMRF := true
    TARGET_USERIMAGES_USE_EXT4 := true
