PLEASE BE SURE TO WIPE SYSTEM & DATA/CACHE (FACTORY RESET) BEFORE UPGRADING TO ANDROID 4.4.

Cannot get this to install. It just gets stuck at the blue kindle fire logo. ANY ROM I flash ends up this way.

Please make sure you're flashing this with the latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 and that you've done the required wipe + advanced -> format system.

I am unable to get the new Amazon AppStore to run on this rom. Immediately force-closes. The same problem happened when updated the Amazon appstore on the 11-15 CM10.2 build. There is a similar comment on that thread by another user but without reply.
I tried re-installing, clearing data, and even a full wipe and clean install but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

P.S. No post in this forum should go without thanking Hashcode for his time and efforts. Without him, this tablet isn't good for anyone between 5-60 years old.

Wow thank you so much! I wish there was some way I could help but I only know the basics on programming but I am more than willing to help in any way. I really hope this improves the device with kitkats memory management

Having lots of problems
First I did a backup (TWRP 2.6.0.1 or something dont remember exactly but older version)
Then I updated TWRP to the newest one
After that I restarted recovery it seams to work fine (other then USB mount which would be very very much appricated if it worked) I wiped System and Seamed to Working like it should
Then I did factory reset and then advanced wipe System
after that I installed the 2 files for CM11 and Gapps
CM11 will look like its starting then go really fast and say success but really do pretty much nothing
the GAPPs will just fail
Now I cant restore the file from the older TWRP since its in a different folder and it fails when i use the file managment to move it to the correct folder..
I cant ADB push a rom file to try an older version of CM ADB sideload also fails Smaller files Like TWRP work but not Roms and this is plenty of open space that is not a problem
Right now I cant install anything but TWRP
Is anyone else having problems?
Thanks!

Just wanted to say Thanks Hashcode, really pleased and surprised to get KitKat for my Kindle, especially so early.

I did a clean install (wipe system, data and cache) with the newest TWRP and then enabled Art as the runtime environment and so far everything seems to be working ok. Installed rotate app to take care of the rotation bug and so far not found any other problems.

Thanks again

Here's a test CM11 build which seems to fix the rotation/orientation issues - at least for me far as I can tell.

http://d-h.st/users/loosethisskin/?fld_id=28911#files or http://goo.im/devs/loosethisskin/jem/cm-11.0
@Hashcode ... the relevant commit is here: https://github.com/loosethisskin/an...mmit/f5c558fa4acee3b793be6e1de9949e9624014c55
It's a first version and will need to be modified if it's worth pursuing (e.g. make it property driven). The change should have a result similar what apps like Rotation Control do. I am forcing sensor (landscape) orienation for every landscape or reverse landscape request.

Let me know...

I'm getting the same thing. Also did the same with updating recovery. Had 2.6.0.0 before updating. Now even with the recommended wipes it won't boot, just stuck on blue kindle fire logo. =(

    New build in the next 24 hours.

    Some more bugfixes:

    1. I had user report that 2nd touch events were being ignored sometimes. To see this behavior, install a multi-touch testing app. Lay the device down on a flat surface in landscape mode. Hold 1 finger to the left side of the screen, then tap lightly with a 2nd finger on the right side of the screen. Occasionally these touches are ignored until either finger is moved slightly. I put in an initial try at fixing this behavior into the kernel today, but it needs testing over time.
    2. There's been a long running big w/ Google Play Movies. When streaming a movie, it will timeout every 4-5 mins and pop up a "retry" button. This was fixed by another dev who took over for me on the Motorola OMAP 4 devices. He spent the better part of today debugging and finally found a nice solution. That will be included. Thanks to @stargo on that.

    As you some of you may have noticed: I have a new job working with Linaro Mobile Group beginning 9/1/2014.

    This is a HUGE change in my professional career, and I want to be 100% focused on my current duties.

    This means, that I will be ending my support for the Kindle Fire devices as official CM maintainer.

    Over the next few weeks, I'll be working with CM to get a replacement dev to step in and continue updates / tweaks to the device.

    For more information:
    https://plus.google.com/111109372727398356624/posts/AtoJ3xLj35b

    Lastly, ending my support for the Kindles was a VERY difficult choice. My TODO list is long and extensive with plans for updates well into next year ... To not get around to really polishing many of these builds makes me a bit sad.

    BUT, this is where YOU (the community) can step in and make a difference. Continue to push these devices onward. I wish you all well.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm nearly finished debugging the KFire HD 7" CM12.0 build and (hopefully) I'll get some time to finish up the 8.9" device over the Christmas break.

    It's pretty close.

    For those that are interested (and daring), I've pushed all of my work up to the CyanogenMod trees and you can run test builds of your own. Use at your own risk currently.

    Happy Holidays
