I would just be happy to get my 4.0.4 charging properly and with a proper charging driver

I'll be making sure that the device compiles and operates correctly under Jelly Bean tonight. :)

The charger is a WIP as always.
Hey hash,

Just finished downloading the source .... and I would love to start playing around with a build.

However, my build/compile experience is pretty much limited to CM ... but I guess the readme of the kfire/android_local_manifest aosp branch is a good start.

If there's anything else I need to be aware of please let me know.

Thx

Flash sucks anyways and will dropped on 4.1.

I experience problems with it too but sound works well. Basically in the browser its dead slow and sucky and in 3rd party apps which use the browser with flash I only see 1/4 of the video for example.

First everyone please type correctly. Second this kernel should not be used as a daily driver. It is a WIP! Bug reporting is great. But don't chastise faulty behavior from a WIP! Expect many bugs, I mean like a lot of bugs .that is the point of these guys beta testing you know? Flash the new kernel, check for bugs , report , and then flash back to the old kernel until the proprietor fixes the issues for a final release. That is it. The only reason developers release software into the wild is for the public to test for bugs on devices and then to report back with bug reports. Please stop the nonsense.

P.S: this was only for those impatient, non-supporting freeloading sacks that love to criticise great progress.

Of course this kernel can be used as a daily driver - and it is by many, either running this or another rom based on hashcode's work.

Troubleshooting a kernel hard reset during init. Seems like it's a chmod 666 on /dev/dce.. odd that this all worked in ICS.

    STEP 1: DOWNLOAD TWRP 2.7.x.x and UPDATE (REQUIRED FOR 4.4):
    EDIT: @Dees_Troy has an official 2.7.x.x w/ SElinux support here:
    http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/blaze/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-otter.img
    Flash with the following adb commands:
    Code:
    adb shell
    su
    idme bootmode 4002
    reboot
    # back in your PC shell
    fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-otter.img

    If you have problems with that file and/or don't want to use adb/fastboot flash method, you can download a flashable .zip from the following locations. Use your existing recovery to flash the update:
    Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)

    BEFORE FLASHING ANDROID 4.4: PERFORM A WIPE + ADVANCED->FORMAT SYSTEM TWRP.

    STEP 2: DOWNLOAD A BUILD OF CM11.0:

    • [12/16] Fixed Deep Sleep
    • [12/15] Added multi-profile fix

    CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES:
    • The headphone MIC input is not functioning correctly yet. Work in progress.

    KERNEL FEATURES:
    • [08/12] Mainline version updates to 3.0.72 updated to current with Google's kernel/common
    • [01/06] WLAN Firmware R5.SP3.06
    • [11/07] Updated to SGX/IMG DDK 1.9@2166536 for Android (via omapzoom)
    • [11/07] WLAN Firmware R5.SP3.03
    • [09/05] Updated to SGX/IMG DDK 1.9.RC2@2139099 for Android
    • Based on TI kernel 4AI.1.7 (3.0.31 mainline) which supports 512M memory mapping needed by the Kindle Fire
    • Uses ducati binary from TI based on rpmsg 1.20.5.11 (replaced Archos ducati binary from ICS 4.0.3)
    • Kernel audio: Added a switch device "h2w" which allows the OS to recognize headset plug events and adjust audio capture routes accordingly. Translation: OS can recognize we have a MIC input via headset now. (NOTE: that audio recording is still not working at this time. Tho it is very close).
    • MUCH better standby / sleep function. The device will go inactive for much longer periods of time (80-100 seconds) while still waking up appropriately for wifi events, power button triggers, etc. And this is still going to get even better when I re-implement DPLL cascading and the charger fixes coming later.
    • Many bugfixes pulled down from TI's omapzoom sources.

    UPDATED 2013-11-25 for CM11.0/CM10.2/CM10.1

    DEVELOPER BUILDING:
    Several patches are outstanding in CM's review so building this from source is currently not an option w/o some Cherry Picks:
    Patch 1: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53917/
    Patch 2: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54562/

    And I'll be updating more of the cm11.0 gits tonight w/ changes to the build / extract files processes.
    Won't get a decent build till that's all done.



    KNOWN BUGS:
    1. EHCI USB 2.0 isn't able to be add to the kernel w/o it crashing. Need to fix for higher speed USB transfers.
    6. Headset recording via the MIC input jack doesn't work


    DEVS
    BUILDING THIS ROM:

    First, read through Google's Android website about "how to setup a build environment":
    http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

    Then you can setup the Kindle Fire by doing the following:
    mkdir android
    cd android
    (Use main repo for CyanogenMod 10.2)
    repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android -b cm-10.2
    repo sync
    vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
    . build/envsetup.sh && brunch otter

    [09/16] CM10 STOCK + 4AI.1.7 KERNEL [STABLE]
    Download Here
    md5sum: b5746745f62c20ed5f6a2520ca506982

    Changes for 09/16:
    • Charging is now fixed. Including basic OTG support. Test away and I can make tweaks as needed. There may be a bug where adb doesn't restart after OTG devices are enabled.
    • Backlight / Panel driver updated. This was probably causing some of the battery drain.

    EDIT: "now" fixed.

    Enjoy.

    I just wanted to do a quick update:

    Got my new device yesterday, and immediately put twrp, fff 1.4a and ICS on it.

    Should be good to pick up where I left off w/ the kernel now.

    Hope to have a new version in a few days.

    New kernel/ROM based on the 4AI.1.7 release are getting a lot better (IMHO) so I'm probably going to do another kernel/ROM release here soon.

    Here's an update of what's coming in the next release:

    1. Kernel Audio source: Added a switch device "h2w" which allows the OS to recognize headset plug events and adjust audio capture routes accordingly. Translation: OS can recognize we have a MIC input via headset now.
    2. Audio HAL module: updated to TI's latest source to help with #1 and future support for USB audio, etc.
    3. Lights HAL module: removed conflicting battery light operations. The kernel manages the battery light entirely. The OS should almost never do anything with it.
    4. (NEW to JB) Power HAL module: used by the OS for temporarily kicking up the CPU during certain events (using the interactive governor) -- this makes the system more responsive. This feature is also still under development over time and I'll continue to update it.
    5. HW acceleration / graphics buffer system: Completely updated sources from TI for the hwcomposer, libion and other graphics / buffer systems
    6. Along w/ #5 I was able to roll up to the latest PowerVR driver 1.9@2130229 (up from 1.8@945322 in the last build). I noted right off the bat
    less GL issues and smoother game play.

    I may take a night or 2 and continue to play with the MIC settings to see if we can get it working, and that would be the delay in this release (if any).

    But, in general, the build for the Kindle Fire is a getting a lot cleaner (IMHO). And that's always a good thing.


    Still working on:

    - Memory management: I'm still not happy with how the OS is unloading certain processes at times (acore?!), and I'll be working with some of the ROM devs to setup better memory management in this main sources at GitHub. No reason why every dev should need to work that stuff out.
    - MIC function. Getting close, but I need to probably spend 2-3 more nights following audio routes and watching the OS setup the Audio input devices when the headset is plugged in.
    - Charger function. This is the big kahuna. Been a while since I worked on it, probably time to jump back into it.
