For dimming I use ScreenDim Pro from the Amazon App Store.

I also have an update on the Kindle Fire 2. Internally, it is completely identical except for 1 gigabyte of RAM and the missing ambient light sensor. The CPU and graphics hardware components looke like they are still exactly the same as the original Kindle Fire. However, while the CPU is also still the same, it is now clocked at 1.2 GHz instead of 1.0 GHz.

Ok, so it's no better than the original I have now. If they feel fuzzy about 1.2 GHz for daily use does that mean we could go 1.4 safely?

Thanks Hashcode for all your hard work. I'm really looking forward to your latest improvements being added this kernel.

A note of thanks.

Dear Hashcode, thanks for giving my 1st Generation Kindle Fire a new lease of life with the CM10 STOCK + 4AI.1.7 KERNEL. Everything I needed my KF to be, it is now. I'm new here so I cannot post on that thread yet, hence my thanks here — I just had to let you know!

Has anyone compiled a cifs.ko module that would work with the 5/26 kernel? Or if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be happy to try to do it myself.

Hashcode,

Any word on when we may see an update of the CM9 build with the new kernel?

Appreciate all your work

I would still personally love a final version of this

Update from earlier...

I assembled the short USB cable with the Pololu voltage regulator (see linked post) and it does seem to work!

On the left, a flash drive which was unable to power up is now able to power up in a stable fashion (as visible by the activity LED, which remains illuminated in normal use; the kernel still freaks out about it requiring too much bus current, which I'm sure at this point is a false positive due to its conservative nature.)

On the right, a USB bluetooth adapter that formerly did nothing when connected to the Kindle now lights up in its "ready" state (although the kernel reports it unsupported in dmesg, though it works on my Linux box; missing driver I suppose, not that BT is ready anway.)

So pending kernel issues, this is definitely an improvement! Although if the regulator can somehow be tweaked in software that's great too. :)

This isn't enough for a USB hub, nor was I going for that. Someone else can see if they can locate a regulator which will regulate at a higher amperage rating (this Pololu one is only rated for 5V / 200ma max, but it can do so at ~2.7v!)

DUDE that's BADASS!!! hell yeah. Never thought about that. This is the voltage regulator I'm using.
It'll go up to a full Amp (1000milliamp) and you can throw anything between .9volts and 5.5volts at it and it gives a beautiful stable 5V output. LOVE IT! So tiny and cheap. Let me know if you have any further successes. Good luck and hack on my friend.

and this one can go up to 1.5Amp and it has a USB port on it... though you'll need to wire in data too

    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
