The first gen and HD Kindle have people active on the 5.0 development, just wondering if power user here is working on a 2nd gen rom for us.
Wrong section to post.

No, I think he posted in the right section. And no I don't think anyone is working on a 5.0 ROM sorry, no one really builds for the Otter2 (KindleFire2) anymore but me and I rarely do that. Since Hashcode moved on to work for Linaro we are pretty much dead in the water, sorry bud.
Ok, thanks man. Do you think it would be too much work to port Hashcode's Kindle 1st gen ROM to the 2nd gen?

Well... Porting is not possible.
I have a first gen. What hashcode did was he made a new partition layout, bpotloader, and recovery for it, which made it COMPLETELY different from Amazon's device. So hiss 5.0 for pur device is OtterX. Anyways, ROMs can't be ported between two devices anymore. So unless hashcode is working for it, its done.

Porting between the two has never gone well..can I try and make a 5.0 ROM yes. Its been one of those things I've been meaning to do just haven't gotten around to doing yet.
I hear ya, what can we do, if you guys ever come up with something I'll gladly give it a try
Thanks!

Please, please do this.
hashcode pushed all the changes for compiling 5.0 to github, just a matter of making a few changes in otter2 device tree. I will compile it today and see what needs to be done. Don't expect too much because cm-12.0 is still alpha.
Update
cm-12.0 uses an android partition layout, hashcode uses a different bootloader and twrp for OtterX. Unless someone can make cm-12.0 work on Amazon partition layout we won't get it.
Could the otterx stuff be ported over?

I have been looking at the tuna partitions and they use the same layout as amazon so could be done. Using the otter cm-12.0 repositories it won't compile so I'll compare it with cm-11.0 and try again.

The otter-common and omap4-common has cm-12.0 updates, just not the otter2 device repository. So far I haven't been able to compile otter2, going to keep working on it. But today I will be upgrading to Fedora 21.

Unofficial CM9 Build
This rom doesn't contain any mods. It is a straight build from the CM9 github repo github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git following this guide.
Build provided by sonicrules, however he has less than 10 posts and therefore cannot post in the development forum.
The code is normally compiled daily, but sometimes the pull happens in the middle of a merge on their end, or someone commits code that doesn't compile. We do not test the rom before posting. Try at your own risk as I have also had the black screen boot issue because the March 26th build was faulty.
Not working:
There is an occasional SOD
WiFi Location Services
Working:
Hardware Acceleration (thanks to hashcode's hard work on the 3.0 kernel)
Mounting as USB Storage
Changing time zone

I would assume since its directly from the gith, it'll be the same as all the other ICS ROMs....HWA will not work (flash/netflix/hulu) and USB host.

so basically this is just a cm9 build thats more current that the jc one, or ninds, whats different anything significant?
Yes that's all. There's no custom mods, or anything. It's straight from the CM9 repo. Just thought others might want a straight, no mod rom, without having to download the source, build, and compile themselves.

OP isn't maintaining the build, he's simply downloading the source code and following the instructions on how to build it against the vendor files. Any progress for the KF ICS build will rely on Hashc0de's 3.0+ kernel.
OP, please don't feel that I'm disparaging your effort in any way - there are plenty of people who will appreciate this, I just wanted to ensure their expectations of what you're providing are correct.

I think you'll find that problem is due to surfaceFlinger crashing on boot. It was a problem a few months ago when I was contributing to the ICS ROM - workaround information can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20987972&postcount=48

Yes, that's right.
Thank you. Currently the builds are provided by sonicrules, however when I get an internet connection actually capable of downloading the source I'll make some modifications but that will be in a new thread. This thread will stay No-Mod CM9, straight from the source code.
Also, the code is compiled daily, but sometimes the pull happens in the middle of a merge on their end. We do not test the rom before posting. Try at your own risk as I have also had the black screen boot issue because yesterday's build was faulty.

That's because it isn't there. The code is pulled from http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git so it's not Kindle Fire specific until you integrate JackpotClavin's Kindle Fire Vendor files. When CM9 becomes an officially supported device by CM9 with it's own repo, then we'll pull from there.

You must be flashing a different Rom. Its CM9 when I flash it. Although it says it was built on March 22 and not on Mar 27 in the build.prop
On a side note, no matter what Gapps I flash, Gtalk just force closes. I've tried a few Gapps packages. Any suggestions? I use it a lot, so I need it.

There are devs working on fixing HWA, but its a problem with the kernel so only kernel devs can work on it. At least thats what I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Hashcode is at it again, at the moment, he is building the kf2 version of FFF. Perhaps we shall see cm10 on our devices in the near future with this work of magic that this god of android has brought us. You can see the very first test here. Now, it does hang at the moment, but it loads, and that is probably the most significant part of this. It will work, now it is just a waiting game.

He is compiling them. The Kindle fire base and the kernel is developed by Hashcode. Slim, AOKP, and Carbon implementations are all created by their perspective developers. Does that answer your question? Compiling a Rom is just a matter of setting up the proper environment and repositories then letting it rip. Well there`s a bit more to it than that but you get the jist.
Yeah he's exactly right. ^ also, I test the first build to make sure it does work and then I put it out if anyone wants to use it. I am building these myself. I can take screenshots of the builds straight from my computer if you'd like.
I may not be able to maintain all these ROMs, but I'd like to put the options out there. I might have to request for other people to maintain the aokp and slimbean thread if life gets too busy. I was originally only planning on maintaining carbon.. So I will keep going with that.
Thanks for the ports. Slimbean runs well, no real problems or quibbles I've found so far.
36 hours and one full cycle into this one and all is good. Seems SlimBean has settled in nicely on my KF. Thanks androidsftw! Your efforts to bring this variety of ROMs for us is greatly appreciated here!

Not sure why people are being skittish about using the ROM, I've run it for about a week now and it's rock solid stable! Fast and smooth...definitely one of the best 4.3.1 ROMs out.

Hello everyone.
I'm SafinWasi. I know I'm new to the Fire Phone forums,but I found something big,so I thought that I should post it here.
It seems that unlike the Kindle Fire Tablet series which used a TI OMAP based chipset,the Fire Phone uses a Qualcomm MSM based chipset. That being said,we should now have access to the Fire OS images for modding.
To those who have root:
Please use the following steps to get the boot and recovery images:
Using ES File Explorer,mount system and "/" path as rw- and navigate to /dev/block/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ and copy "boot" and "recovery" to sdcard.
Please send the two images to me via PM or post it in this thread so that I may open them up for examining.

Absolutely certain root is needed to pull any of the files. I have tried every method possible through ES (e-mail, BT, MMS, copying the file to /sdcard/, etc.)
Another thing I can try is to obtain root on my phone. Someone mentioned towelroot has many different versions floating around, I've only tried the v3 from geohot's site. I'll find some other sources & see if I can't get lucky.

Judging by the 35,000 units sold, and not much interest / activity for this phone on XDA, I doubt anyone's requested it. I sent the following email to Amazon which "escalated" my issue, & also sent the email directly to Jeff Bezos. It's a long shot but let's hope it makes some noise. By AOSP guidelines, they are required to release the device's source code.
The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) has compliance guidelines for companies which produce & distribute devices containing the Android operating system. The recently released Fire Phone operates on the Fire OS, which is a modified version of Android 4.2 "Jelly Bean".
In order to comply with the AOSP guidelines, Amazon is required to release the source code for the Fire Phone device, which it has not.
Please make the source code available for download.

Since the boot loader is locked, I doubt that custom recoveries would be possible, but SafeStrap is definitely a probability.

If anyone knows of a safe place for me to download old versions of towel root I can try to help with pulling the image. AT&T for some reason can't find my phone on their network so it's basically a paperweight and don't mind trying to help with this. If there are other methods I can try to root let me know as well. I can give them a shot when I have some down time.

@SafinWasi and all - I posted the APK in a separate thread in this same sub-forum. In retrospect, I should've just posted in this thread.
EDIT: I believe Towelroot will only work on this phone if you haven't updated to 3.5.1. I'm searching for a way to revert my phone to 3.5 to test this. The Amazon AWS site only has the most recent version available for download.
2ND EDIT: @SafinWasi - I found the old 3.5 OS download link in another thread. The file has a *.bin extension and is 1.12GB. We know through the recovery we can "update via ADB" which will prompt you to adb sideload an update file. I'm thinking I'll try this to get back on 3.5 & towelroot it.
Fire OS 3.5 (thanks to @ONYXis) - https://s3.amazonaws.com/fire-phone-updates/update-fire-phone-121_1.0.1_user_101012120.bin
First of all, I take no credit for these images. I received these from @Dilbert1959 who has confirmed root access using towelroot on Fire OS 3.5. I simply compressed the images to an acceptable file size for XDA.
@SafinWasi - Feel free to move these images to the OP.

And to anyone who has successfully downgraded to 3.5 and has rooted their phone,please do a system dump with the following commands:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img"
adb pull /sdcard/system.img"

PLEASE.
Does anyone think this will happen? I'm hoping someone makes one for our device.
The CM team are working on CM 12, but no word yet on if it's coming for the KF2.

If any developers are willing to build for the KF2, then yes..

I don't know why you would want to bring this thread back up. As of now it's completely useless. I posted that before there was even a 5.0 ROM for the KF2.. You responding was not needed at all.
