3. If coming from any ROM which is not CM9 please wipe data/cache/Dalvik Cache
4. Reboot and enjoy

SOLO KERNEL NOTES:

06-08: KERNEL.ZIP #12 IS NOW READY HERE (FLASH IN RECOVERY): http://bit.ly/KPbDVm
md5sum: e7476ff785b2dfbdb062e1cc036c14ac
- Touchscreen driver changes (event optimization, ICS friendly)
- Updated the WLAN driver to R5.00.18 (up from R5.00.5)
- Cleaned up the charger code some more (part of on-going charger work)
- Added more support for PPTP and L2TP connections
- [NEW 06/08] Added CCMP support used in 802.11i for EAPOL/WPA2/IPSEC connections using 4-way handshakes (Will fix some users who can't connect to wifi at certain locations)

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR USB not being recognized in Windows 7 (while the Kindle is *NOT* plugged into computer):
- Open Device Manager
- Right-click your computer name and select "Show Hidden Devices"
- The top device group should be: Android device(or phone): under it "Android ADB Composite device"
- Right-click on that and select uninstall
- Now plug the Kindle back into the computer and let driver re-install

IF FOR SOME REASON WIFI DOESN'T WORK ON THE FIRST BOOTUP DO THE FOLLOWING:
Enter Terminal Emulator
Type: su
Type: fix-mac.sh
Exit Terminal Emulator
Reboot

THIS ROM SHOWS OFF HOW WELL ICS CAN RUN ON THE KINDLE FIRE.
** READY FOR DAILY USE **

If I had just installed this ROM and I wanted to see something that might not work in the stock-kernel based ICS ROM, then I'd try the following:
- Install "Chrome Beta" from the market and test it out.
- Audio is more stable.
- Launcher is smoother due to full PVR graphic support
- Try YouTube!

For user support, look to this thread! Please keep discussion here as to what works and what doesn't, etc.

Thanks so much for putting this out there!

I will definitely give it a go once my internet connection stops being so wonky.

Thanks Hashcode!

btw, I can't get the screen on and it shows

D/SurfaceFlinger( 115): About to give-up screen, flinger = 0x1b5c918
E/libEGL ( 115): validate_display:188 error 3008 (EGL_BAD_DISPLAY)

It's strange!

Amazing work Hashcode. Simply Amazing.

Huntington · Apr 10, 2012

I cant wait till this kernel is stable.

once again, nice job, i really envy your tallent.

erikiksaz · Apr 10, 2012

Oddly enough I get bootloops on this right AT the bootanimation. Was running CM9 earlier (which worked fine), but for some odd reason this rom always bootloops on a different part of the bootanimation.

Wiped every single option under CWM. Will probably try TWRP to see if it's any different. The only option I don't see under CWM is "/format boot" so I'm assuming that maybe there are some remnants that are keeping it from booting. I recall from the Nexus S forums that a proper wipe involves formatting system and boot.

I decided to give "fastboot erase boot" a try. I thought that this was going to just wipe out the boot partition. I was then going to flash the boot partition with your boot.img from your zip file, but somehow I still wasn't able to get back into the recovery after doing so. After flashing recovery again, it finally loaded back up. But, at that point I just flashed a nandroided boot.img just to be safe.

I'm not even sure if this line of thinking is correct though, haha. If it is I'll goof with it some more tomorrow.

Or would it be possible to include a line in your installation script to wipe boot as well?

50CalPotato · Apr 10, 2012

I simply cannot seem to be able to get the screen working. The backlight does start, and sometimes I can see different colours in various lines of pixels, but no picture shows no matter how many times I try the power button. Very strange.

ammubarak · Apr 10, 2012

Thank you for outstanding job.
My kindle Fire recycled to boot loop during booting using this ROM. It recycled back to boot at CM animation where it remained for a few second at CM boot animation then boot to boot partition.

Anyone successfully flashed this using TWRP? Can't get it to boot...

Jessical · Apr 10, 2012

Had absolutely no problems booting this on my KF. Works flawlessly so far.

Only thing was the CM9 boot animation was in portrait and cut off.

Oh, and I flashed using TWRP.

Oh, and guess what?! Google Chrome Beta now works!!!!

Some of my other findings...

The audio driver works very, very well! Amazon doesn't seem to have it implemented very well in their stock builds. Notably in apps like Audiotool Sketch which would crash on the first ICS builds because of the original driver and then Squids which soundtrack would simply stutter on both stock and CM9 and now plays beautifully on this kernel.

Sims FreePlay no longer throws the error and you can now download and play it. Looks great on the KF too!

I'm not having any booting issues, that's after now having rebooted twice. I'm having the screen not work when you turn it off and on, ut like you said, just pressing it multiple times fixes it.

Not having anymore issues with the reboot button after a few restarts...

Flash works beautifully.

If you have it plugged in, it'll keep the charge. I've been messing with it for a hour and it hasn't went down anyway.

treUse · Apr 10, 2012

Hmm, I don't even see a boot anim. This is after wiping everything possible using TWRP.

Strange, what ROM did you come from?

MoDaCo. Do a wipe of your caches.

treUse · Apr 10, 2012

I did, I wiped everything, including cache. Came from cm9 tho, maybe, as another user said, boot isn't wiped correctly.

Try factory restore then.

50CalPotato · Apr 10, 2012

I did a factory reset and cleared both the cache and dalvik cache, prior to installing the FW. It just refuses to show a picture, and there is also no boot animation.

Once, though, I waited for it to boot and then I tapped around on the screen. Somehow I heard dial tones, and a distinct button press "click"
