CM9 and ICS on the way to Kindle Fire? - Kindle Fire General

Hello!
I just read an article on Engadget, reporting news about CyanogenMod 9 and Ice Cream Sandwich. Link (my first post, so waren't allowed to post clickable link... sorry!): engadget.com/2011/12/06/ics-based-cyanogenmod-9-its-on-track-but-not-for-everybody/
It mentions CM9 making good progress, especially for devices powered by the OMAP 4 processor. Considering the OMAP 4430 processor inside the Fire, this must be great news for future Fire ROM's?
Is it likely we'll see a CM9 ROM for the Fire?

Ok, thank you, I'll try to find some more threads about it. Those I've found so far are mostly about porting the CM7 ROM, but I guess the CM9 gets mentioned as well

CM7 has been ported, but does not have sound. The Dev. working on that did that to prove it could be done, then went directly to an ICS port. Another Dev says he has completed ICS, with aspects not working, but sucessfully booting, and will post pics and source later today. It is def. coming. I am waiting for the TWRP 2.0 before I mess with them though. I need successful recovery tools before I am willing to brick a $199 investment.

Sounds really great! I haven't received my Kindle yet, but the idea of running ICS on it is very exciting.
Do any of you have any thoughts about the performance? I've tried some HTC Android phones earlier, and noticed a significant performance increase when I replaced the stock ROM (with Sense) with a Vanilla Gingerbread ROM. Do you believe it will be the same result here? Better performance with Vanilla ICS than with the stock ROM including Amazon's custom UI?

It indeed seems like the developers that are working on the Kindle Fire make great progress! Awesome news for me that is probably importing one to Sweden in the near future. Awesome work developers!

Same here! Importing one to Norway, so a great part of the Kindle Fire Custom UI is more or less 'useless' for me... ICS will certainly make it a lot more versatile!

I'm with you there, I want to install the CM7 port so bad but don't like not having a working recovery yet. Wish I knew enough to help out the development, but I'm just a tinkerer.

On ICS and love it...now gonna try CM9!
I have been on ICS for a week now and love it...Now its time to try out CM9, since they got a new update today! Want to give HUGE THANKS to all the DEVS!! You have made my Kindle Fire AWESOME!!

I also installed the cm9 beta earlier this week. I've updated with each new release and it just keeps getting better. It runs so much faster than the OEM software and most of my apps install with ease. Can't thank the devs enough for their work.

Kindle Fire ICS beta is awesome
The new Kernel by Hashcode is amazing a step in the right direction for perfect KF support for ICS. Thank you to Hashcode, JackpotCalvin, and all the other devs who put in so much time to get this working!

[Q] Almost rooted?

Hi guys,
I flashed my Xoom to ICS, and now I have the following configuration:
- I can do adb, adb install
- I can do adb shell as regular user,
- from there, I can do "su" and get access to /data and other root files
- RootChecker tells me I'm not rooted
- no rooted app works (e.g. RootExplorer)
I guess I just need to install SuperUser.apk, sudo and a couple of other things, but I am overwhelmed with information (SuperOneClick, Z4Root etc). Can somebody help me? How can I get rooted apps to work?
Thank you very much
John
Can i ask how where u got the ics files from? Wanna try it out...

What ICS build did you use? I'm not aware of any stable Xoom ICS Rom at this time?
Troll post? I mean, if you're one of those in the know to get an alpha ICS ROM, you'd assume you'd have a dev friend to help you with the quirks of it.
What do you mean, guys? The latest software is available here.
androidadvices.com update-root-motorola-xoom-honeycomb-322-firmware-version [apparently I cannot post links]
Isn't it supposed to be stable? When is a stable version going to be available?
That is definitely not ICS they are talking about in that site. They are talking about Android 3.2.2 which is still Honeycomb. After playing with my Galaxy Nexus all day though, Ice Cream Sandwich can't come out fast enough for the 4G Xoom... it is honestly so much more polished.

Onskreen cornerstone for true multitasking

I've just seen the news about onskreen going multitasking,,,,,,went to download,,,,,,,,,,,but really I don't know what to download and how to use it on my TF101G
As far as i know:
Cornerstone is no app as you understand it. It is something like a "launcher".
The problem is that cornerstone has to be integrated into the os by the manufacturer himself because it has to be integrated deeply into the os.
So you won't see cornerstone on tablets unless a manufacturer decides to implement it.
Or someone takes the AOSP code from google and releases a complete rom. But i think that would be a lot of work. I don't think that someone would do this. It would be awesome to see this im cyanogenmod^^. I mean both are open source now.

I think I saw someone with a Xoom that has it.. (from Reddit). It would be awesome if we got it too.. I need to learn to make roms in my spare time.
it has to be baked into the rom its not a apk u run
I would love to try this too !
The "simple" way would be to get source from a rom, to integrate it and build the rom. But the integration step is unfortunatly not simply I think :/
Integrating difficulties is just one of the problems... for example Cornerstone requires ICS.. which we don't have.

First ICS has to come out. Then we will gather our forces, go on our knees and humbly ask any dev to face the challenge and coock rom with Onskreen integrated. It will not be soon, but someday ... Hope never dies...
Since it's under the ASL, I hope that it's included into the official CM9 for the Transformer. If it is not, I'm sure that there will be unofficial CM9 roms with it. Now, Asus, release the ICS update for the Transformer we need the kernel sources and drivers...

^^ what he said but the expand on that we need a rom that is fully deodexed or one that has a full source code available so that it can be baked in without signature errors + we need a apk dev and a rom dev (Or one that can do both) to put it all together

Rom /Mod/Kernel tester here.

I have an amazing kindle fire and willing to test not yet stable roms and mods three some developers may have.

4.1 Jelly Bean being pushed to AOSP right now!

This release will be tagged as android-4.1.1_r1 in AOSP. While the source is going live now, the full proprietary binaries for Google-blessed devices won't be rolled out until later. Google plans to directly support the Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and Xoom through AOSP. Be aware that the addition of the Jelly Bean code to AOSP doesn't mean any OTA updates are on the way. This just means anyone can download the full source to begin work.

The Xoom has (almost) the same hardware as the TF101, so we're (almost) in business
can not wait to see update.
I'm excited. Hopefully we can see some ROMS soon. I also hope we can get the CM10 or AOKP variations. Come on DEVS!!!

If you want JB in a timely fashion and in a stable form, my guess is that you should not rely on Asus. Their ICS builds were bug-ridden to the point of driving me away.
Can't wait for some of the devs, maybe Paul Burton, the CM-team, AOKP-team etc to get hacking on this source.
I've read in the 3.1 kernel thread that rayman33 is working on JB. So hopefully he will succeed and we will see a JB ROM soon

All, you know, I will start working on a JellyBean (ProjectButter) - AOSP build as soon as Team Douche (CM9) update their repos.
The SDK port is giving me too much errors, bugs and overall hassle to be worth working on.
Will check the repo the next days for update.
JellyBean on it's way.
Currently fixing up ramdisk as a pre-condition to make the rom boot later.
If the devs are willing to, I might collaborate with guevor (kernel work), sidneyk (ramdisk assist) and sportsstar89/ricardopvz/Roach2010 or any other AOSP-ROM developer or maintainer.
I might just ask them when the source drops.

Nook HD/HD+ officially supported by Cyanogen!

Source: https://plus.google.com/117962666888533781522/posts/hHKqw4zU3vZ
Break out the bubbly, we have successfully been merged in. Congrats, Verygreen, for all your hard work!
woot!
wonder when the first official nightly is ready. anyone has an idea from past experiences, how long it takes them from announcing the device, to first nightly?
The merge is not fully complete yet.
We most likely missed today's nightly window too. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be fully ready.
That is way awesome. CM 10.2 here we come
Thanks for the update. If you don't mind me asking, what's causing the delay?

Some internal references to supportng repos are broken due to them being renamed + kernel tree somehow failed to upload it seems.

This is great news. I have a Nook HD and hope this will mean that soon more bluetooth keyboards will work with it! (In particular the Anker Ultra-slim). I was interested in verygreen's own updated CM, but was unclear whether this works on the HD or just the HD+.
Perhaps we will also be able to use some planetarium/star charting apps. Invariably I am told that they are incompatible with my device.

My Anker bluetooth kb K1280C (can't remember what it's called) works fine with CM. Whereas bluetooth keyboards don't seem to work on stock. But, bt mice work on stock, and don't work on CM. Go figure.
This sounds like great news & a testament to verygreen's tireless efforts into transforming this crippled color e-reader into the best deal out there for android tablets. I'm excited about this development but can somebody explain what it means to be CM official as opposed to unofficial? & maybe how things will change? (for the better I'm assuming)
I used to have an official CM8 ROM on my old Nexus S 4G a while back & this unofficial CM rom by verygreen runs so much better & more stable than that one did.

Hi,
I bought a Nook HD+ sometime back and have been reading up a lot about rooting and installing custom ROM' on the forum of late. I had planned to install the currently available custom ROM today, but I bumped across this thread.
Being a newbie, from what I can gather, Cyanogen would officially be supporting Nook HD+ ROM', so we can expect an official release soon. So my question is, if it's better to wait for the official CM release or go ahead and install the currently available unofficial version?
Thanks in advance.

go with unofficial, and just update as they release new builds. It will be quite a while until we will see official RC not to mention stable release...
wow this is awesome news, I made a gamble 2 weeks ago to import the nook HD+ to europe hoping that cyanogenmod would support the HD+ in the coming weeks. Now running verygreen's emmc 10.1
Great Work
This is fantastic news. I join everyone in thanking Verygreen.
I hope an official build means easier modifications when using things like autopatcher to create a tabletui. There hasn't been much of an update in a few weeks in that thread.
Awesome news! Thanks again for all your hard work, Verygreen.
Outstanding! Congrats to all involved.
This is due to verygreens hard work, and is a testament to the quality of his code. It is my understanding he will still be doing all the work for CM, but now it will be "blessed" as an official CM port instead of unofficial. The state of the port will still depend on the (excellent) work that verygreen puts into this rom.
Thanks again verygreen for making my Nook HD+ a decent tablet instead of a marginal one.
