About the flutter on wakeup, it reminds me of that cool effect Android used to have when turning the screen off, like an old CRT tv. I was just wondering where did that go?

And can we have that too? (I am aware I may sound like a kid wanting to have everything, but wth!)

Anyone has an updated build prop for max compabilty with the market and game loft games? Also a free app that hides the combined bar? It seems the resolution is causing some games crash due to the space the bar occupies

Maybe I've solved the wifi issue: to get working the wifi I have to turn off my router and then the KF connects. So I'm trying to understand id it's a router or kernel issue.
What do you think about that?

The issue was solved a while back by some other user, which was also reposted a few more times. The new kernel fixed the issue. Your router, however, needed to clear it's working memory to see the "new" device.

There was a link to a CM9 Full Stock Rom with the #6 kernel. Can't find it anymore...anyways:

is there already a link with the #7 kernel to a pure CM9 ROM? I prefer flashing full roms instead of single components...makes it easier to keep everthing compatible IMHO...

Edit:

1. if i want to flash only the kernel, do i still have to wipe everything? I'd like to keep all my settings so i'd rather not factory reset....
2. can i install the .zip with TWRP using the regular install from zip file method, or do i have to do anything additionally?

So I flashed K7 yesterday night. I was running the K6 b4 that. And look at the difference. In slope while charging the device.

Thanks!

I only wiped cache and davlik. Install the new kernel (small component, takes a few seconds ). Reboot.

Works like a charm.

Thanks again for the great work Hash.

From the little testing I've had the chance to do today, everything appears to be working pretty smooth. I'm using the #3 ROM with the new #7 Kernel. Both Netflix and YouTube HD play without a problem, along with a couple of games I tried (Sims Free Play and Puzzle Quest 2). Wifi connected without an issue and has a different MAC address than it was showing with #6. I can also stop/start WiFi without any problems. I'll check out battery life later after I actually get it fully charged. Great work.

It's funny, but I've had fewer issues running your "test" ROM than I have with other ICS ROMs (Netflix always worked once you got HWA working, I never really saw the status bar bug, etc).

Obviously not a priority, but I'd love to see a build.prop (is that the correct term?) that would let me install some of the Kindle Edition games I've purchased. But, like I said, definitely not a priority.

I flashed the new kernel but it isn't working, because after a reboot the screen is only on for a few seconds and the touchscreen isn't working. After that the screen goes off and it stays off. Am I the only one with that problem?

If reading back a page or two and you don't see any other similar responses, then yes, you are the only one :p

So far all signs are pointing to yes. Bad flash maybe?

BUILD #7 Bugs

I have more trouble with this build than the last one. My problems:

1. When FIREFIREFIRE screen goes away, the LCD picture disappears until right before the boot animation vanishes. I catch a glimpse of it and then I'm at the lock screen. No big deal. I can unlock and use the kindle. Also, after the FIREFIREFIRE screen, my power light goes off and never comes on again.

2. After unlocking, if I let my screen go dark by inactivity, then nothing I do will get it to wake. I have to do a hard shutdown. Still, no button light.

3. Using the power button will NOT put the screen to sleep. Only inactivity timeout does this.

4. My WIFI doesn't work at all. Zero. None.

You guys have been doing great work and I'm very excited with all of it! Thanks!

As a general rule, make sure u are flashing the kernel on one of hashcode's CM9 ROMs.
If u do so on a different ROM, Wi-Fi and the power button will not work.

    NEW KERNEL IS CHARGING. OS DOESN'T SHOW THE CHARGING ICON.
    Make sure when you plug in to check the Settings -> Battery screen and see "Charging"

    06-28: KERNEL.ZIP #13 IS NOW READY HERE (FLASH IN RECOVERY): REMOVED TEMP
    (Recompiling w/o Linaro for compatibility)
    md5sum: a16c281fa3dbe0962c6dc2c03e6df5bc
    Full ROM: http://bit.ly/NaD2vW
    md5sum: d9dfe6f5f97eadbeaecc86d0314cb80e
    - Mainline Linux 3.0.31 updates
    - TI kernel 3.0.21 branch updates
    - [ROM-Only] Now w/ "OtterParts where the touchscreen filter setting can be set (0 as default, but 30 is very usable) -- (Scott Brady)
    - Built using Linaro toolchain
    - Added KRAIT optimizations (not sure how effective yet) (twa_priv)

    NOTE: I haven't adjusted the nightly server to use the 3.0.31 kernel OR Linaro yet. This is the only ROM link I've built with it in it.


    [06-27-2012] UNOFFICIAL NIGHTLY SERVER IS RUNNING:
    DOWNLOAD HERE
    GApps: http://goo.im/gapps (4/29 is the latest in the CM9 row)
    These builds are using a stock framework which includes the volume slider mod. It's kept up-to-date by twa_priv.

    STEPS FOR UPDATING:
    1. Download .zip file from the nightly server and place on your device
    2. Reboot into recovery and apply .zip
    3. If coming from any ROM which is not CM9 please wipe data/cache/Dalvik Cache
    4. Reboot and enjoy

    LATEST CHANGES:
    [06-26-2012] Added sbradymobile's touch filter patch + OtterParts for controlling the filter level (30 recommended, default as 0 for now) (under Settings -> Advanced) [THANKS!]


    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.

    I think we can safely agree that the charger driver has issues and it's being worked on. And that each user should ensure that their device charges correctly without the aid of seeing the charging icon in the status bar.

    The details are really irrelevant.

    ONCE AGAIN KEEP IT CIVIL. WHICH MEANS: don't accuse each other of lying, call each other names, or use otherwise inflammatory remarks.

    While rude and insensitive, its also mucking up my thread which is supposed to be a useful resource.

    I say this as someone who religiously pages through almost every thread in this area and often could respond badly to poorly worded kernel demands, etc. It doesn't take much to turn a well intentioned post into something worse. And sometimes its due to language barriers or other issues which are beyond control.

    A thick skin is almost a requirement in any public forum setting.

    /rant

    On a side note the new driver is working with the OS: I get a charging icon when plugging in. Now on to removing the extra battery device, fixing suspend and a pleathora of mode switch issues.

    TEST BUILD #3 IS READY HERE: http://bit.ly/IShcSq

    There are 2 changes for this build:
    - HW Codecs are now working.
    - Kernel included in this build is running "silicon type performance" mode. Meaning it's a stock overclock to 1.2 Ghz. Please test this as well.

    If you have ANY issues with the 1.2 Ghz speed and want to step back down to 1.0 Ghz do the following:
    - Enter "Settings"
    - Choose "Performance" (at the bottom)
    - Click "Ok"
    - Select "Processor" (the first item on the right)
    - Choose "Maximum CPU frequency"
    - Set this to 1008
    - Then check the "Set on boot" option
