[ROM/KERNEL] OFFICIAL CM11.0 + 3.0.72 Kernel for Kindle Fire [NIGHTLIES]

SalsaForte · Apr 24, 2012

Effectively, I have 2 kindle fire with kernel 6 and both can't use the Internet at the same time.
I'll patch one with v7 right away.

I ****ing hate each and every one of you that is incapable of reading the above. If this was respected, I would have had to go backwards from PAGE 59 to PAGE 16 just to find the goddamn ROM.

Isn't the ROM on that is linked to on page 16 test version 2?

Shouldnt you be using the ROM that is linked in the first post?

Hashcode post on his site everything related to the ROM and Kernel

Just use this URL http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/otter/

There you will have access to Kernel and ROM, always the latest!

Thank you both for helping me out. I still stand by my original point though: This should be for development only, as stated in the original post. I will be making it my daily mission to remind every single person of this when they post in the wrong place.

Wait... Like you just did twice? What are you developing?

Sorry I couldn't resist.

I'm not saying I've contributed much, but I have a day job that has to take precedance

I did help a little during the infancy of the KF CM9 build with JC, but kernel work is above and beyond my level of experience. And yes, I know I'm just as guilty but at this point I feel like it's pissing in the ocean

Topic cleaned, please try to keep it friendly

intersectRaven · Apr 24, 2012

O...k...my post also got cleaned in the process, anyways, to sum it up:

Please post HOW TO FIX PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED on this thread. For REPORTING ENCOUNTERED PROBLEMS, please post on the sister thread of this thread located in the GENERAL SECTION.

Hashcode, me and other contributors regularly read BOTH threads so be assured that we are on top of things. Please be PATIENT as hashcode and most of the contributors don't do this as their job and just work on it at their leisure or at their free time.

Arjen · Apr 24, 2012

Topic cleaned again,
please post in appropriate thread!
You can find the link to User Discussion thread in first post!

Hey Hash,

Seems like Netflix doesn't like your recent device naming changes (Amazon Kindle Fire -> Kindle Fire). The window which is supposed to play the video just pops up for a second and then closes.
I verified this by changing ro.product.model back to Amazon Kindle Fire in build.prop and voila, netflix works again

The new boot animation looks good btw. Thanks

[EDIT: Sorry, this was ROM #6 with Kernel #7, didn't realize the change was so recent.] Is there maybe a legal/support reason that Hash changed the name? It seems like it was deliberate and I'm guessing he had good cause.

When I installed Netflix by APK, I got the immediate close. When I installed Netflix via the Play Store, it worked perfectly. Is there maybe a legal/support reason that Hash changed the name? It seems like it was deliberate and I'm guessing he had good cause.

I also uninstalled/reinstalled netflix from the play store and it didn't work. Which rom are you on? I tried hash's latest cm9-kfire-3.0-hashcode-04-22.zip and also my own build - same issue. Only changing the device name in build.prop fixed it.

Never mind, I didn't realize how recent this was. I was running ROM #6 with Kernel #7 when I tried Netflix. Hash did mention a Netflix issue he was looking at, maybe this was it. Still, wondering why he "fixed" it as such, and still wondering if it had to do with some kind of lash back from Amazon or something.

That's one way. I prefer to use adb, although it does require you to have the Android SDK.

From the command line:

Remount /system in read/write mode

Code:

adb remount

Copy build.prop to your PC, it will show up in the same directory as adb.exe

Code:

adb pull /system/build.prop

Edit build.prop using notepad or your preferred text editor

Push build.prop back to the device

Code:

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

Any simple text editor should be fine. You can get to it thru Root Explorer or ES Explorer, etc.

Edit: You would probably end up having to change permissions to do it this way, so use the adb method mentioned by nathris above. That's actually the way I normally do things like this, though I am typically booted into recovery while this is being done.

I heard that if you ask in the proper thread (for instance the general thread) you might get better answers

I use the build.prop editor tool in Root Tools. You can get Root Tools from Google Play. I think its free.

A note on charging.

While on a standard USB2 plug (or other <1A USB plug), it doesn't appear to charge while powered on (charges fine while powered off).

I was able to get it to show charging when I plugged in to a USB3 port on my UD3 motherboard, but I am having some driver wonkiness with ADB which really freaked my system out.

So, it would appear, if you want to charge via USB, do it via USB3 (with the extra power availability.
