I've seen a few of the home screens that people have posted of their KFs with CM7. How is it?
It looks really nice with the Honeycomb/ICS (?) theme.
I just wanted to know how it is for the people that use it. Is it buggy at all?
Thanks!

I had a question regarding CM7 on Kindle Fire:
I have it all set up and good to go; however, when I select the double down arrow button, the CM7 bar goes away. How do I get it back without exiting the video I'm watching?
I've got two Kindle Fires...
One was on 6.2 which I rooted and started playing around with. It picked up the 6.2.1 update and I'm kinda bummed with it. Need to re-root it and tidy up a few things.
The other one I've been holding on to for using in the car. Was kinda waiting till BT was figured out. But I had time yesterday and moved it from 6.2 to CM7. I can not stand my 6.2.1 Fire any more. I like a really simple experience and CM7 does that for me. Post Xmas I'll move the 6.2.1 Fire to CM7 or ICS if it's ready by then.
Was playing around with TetherGPS on the CM7 Fire today in the car, very cool. Just need to figure out a mounting system for it. Once BT is figured out I'll be able to use Torque for ODBII data and get more geeky.
I had problems with the home button not working and didn't like the notification bar and tools bar at the bottom. Frankly it was a bit buggy for my tastes.

Open the power button menu and hit back (I think that's there by default...)
I am loving it! The status bar buttons can be reconfigured to your liking. I set mine to be the same as my Droid X to keep things simple. Check out tablet tweaks in the settings menu.
So when u install Cm7, do u lose Amazon carousel? I like being able to switch back and forth

Yes. You're replacing the stock rom.

Everybody is saying that. But for me the scrolling in 6.2.1 was way smoother than in cm7. Also adw launcher ex run flawlessly in 6.2.1 in cm7 it's a bit choppy.
But other than that, I won't go back to stock. I really love cm7, have it on my phone, too.
Cm7 is really cool and highly modifiable. Its a crime to use kindle with stock. Only i had to restart cm7 once, If it doesnt keep doing it, its perfect.

Delete the folders with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.

I've noticed that too. I use GO Launcher EX from the market and it's much more smooth.
Can anyone confirm the battery life on CM7 ? better or worse than stock ?

It seems a bit better to me.
I'm greatly enjoying CM7, hoping some of the last wrinkles will be ironed out soon. (Not able to play some apps like Asphalt 6, which work on stock rom, the MAC address issue, nothing major but still troublesome.)
Yeah, some apps don't work. But the ones that do are much faster (Including Tapatalk)

Loving this tablet so far, just don't know what else I should be doing with it. I feel like it's my myTouch 4G all over again, no idea what to. First thing I did was install Minecraft, but I want to know, what do you do with your Galaxy Tab? (Watching porn is not an acceptable answer)
I mostly use it for Netflix, YouTube, browsing, and gaming.

ontopic : ocasional e-mail, social networking/chat, youtube, casual games, music and android development
Can't believe nobody said this yet. But flash cwm and get a custom rom on it . Lol

i got mine like, 2/3 hours ago ) i'm trying to test all the bits on this before flashing another rom on it (specially, because I haven't flashed a tablet ever) and i'm still trying to get KIES to work with this (though, i would only sync music, and i use doubletwist for that :d)
already rooted, gonna flash a ROM but I dont know what ROM to flash, all I really want is Cyanogenmod 9.
I only use it for Twitter | Facebook | Angrybirds nuffsaid'
If you use it for anything else , then idk .
oh and root it & add CWM & add a custom-rom .
Root it and add the ad-hoc wifi hack so you can tether to your droid.
As to what to do with it - ebooks. Isn't that what tablets were invented for? LOL
I got mine two-three days ago and first thing I did was root it, installed Overcome's ROM and then just messed with it a bit.
I usually tether my Galaxy S 4G, take my Tab everywhere I go & usually just browse the internet... Facebook, look on Engadget, games, and maybe some pr0n.
I'm starting to use it more than I use my phone, I lurve it. It's my life now!
Surfing and ebookreading. Watching tv shows and movies. Listening to music. Almost the same as on the sgs 1.

Apart from being connected to my inboxes and google reader, I found it great for "mobile" web-surfing with a bigger screen, e-books and pdf reading with repligo, note taking with writepad stylus and freenote.
I use it for my work.....marketing - photo and pdf presentations, keep marketing materials on them for my use, surf the net, read books via the Kindle reader app.
Mine has pretty much replaced my laptop, which is now consigned to mostly being a media server. The only thing I use mine for that hasn't been mentioned is Skype video calling and as a radio, I listen to shows on BBC iPlayer and TuneIn Radio.
I have mine running GalaxyTask 10.0 and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely amazing for a Honeycomb ROM.
Better than my HP Touchpad and all Gingerbread ROMs with the (equality) of Skyraider for the Thunderbolt phone.
Bedside book reader with Nook app (sideloading .epub), web browser, mail client, ski report viewer, Google Talk station, etc.

Running Galaxy Task as well and its a hell of a lot better than the stock ROM, if games could run smoothly then I would be perfectly happy with this tablet.
I do almost anything that I use my desktop/laptop for on my tab. GoToMyPC app connects me to my desktop at work for quick access to files or dropbox access to all my machines. I was like you when I first got mine...soon the question will be what do I NOT use the tab for!
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
I do almost everything except play MW3 and SWTOR on my tab. To the point I probably will go back to a blackberry because I don't use my phone for much, other than to settle arguments here and there with google.
I pretty much use mine for watching movies and web browsing. Netflix and VPlayer are my two movie apps
Hey guys. I am no dev and waiting as patiently as possible for "beta" ICS build. I would just love to know from you pro tinkerers how is the overall system performance? Are the home screen scrolling and animations smooth? Is it impressive because ICS is better optimized or is the hardware showing its age?
I stay with CM7 for now until 4 or 5 releases of CM9.
I've been very impressed with the sneakpeaks and in fact have been using them as a daily. I recommend doing your own builds though just to make sure everything is current (only reason I haven't is due to VM issues).
I mainly use mine for browsing, email, and PDF reading so I haven't had any issues with it.
If anything you can give it a shot and try it yourself (emmc or SD) then go back if needed.
Sound still not working, right?
Sound works fine for me in sneakpeak2, but the boost in dal's tweaks isn't working. Headphones are OK. Was watching Ghostbusters earlier.
I just loaded samian303's nightly build from 1/11 and so far so good listened to Pandora radio earlier and been able to do everything I could do on CM7.1. Though I have not tried video yet..

Oh, it's great to hear.
I haven't caught up with ICS lately.
I've been pretty happy with it. The only problem I had was that it did not see any of the media on my SD card. On that note...any ideas?
I just installed the most recent build and I am amazed how functional it is. The only trouble I have noted (with very limited tinkering) is flash player and the ics movie studio app.
All my media is there on emmc and sdcard, and movies play fine.
I hadn't realized how close they had gotten. There may be more serious problems that I haven uncovered, but I am considering making this an every day ROM. Everything else is minor minor stuff.
I have tried samian303's nightly build from an SD card and really like the progress from my first build of it. It's getting close to a beta or RC I would think.
ICS works very well the only thing it is missing that CM7 has is video playback. Other than that most everything works fine.

I am running the latest nightly and am over clocked to 1325. Runs very smooth for such an early build!

works okay
Ive been using it for a day or so and it seems to work fine to me. Just a lot of little odds and ends to adjust/clear up. A lot of apps are not showing up in market yet I can install them from my titanium backup.
Not bad at all
I've been using it since sneakpeek2 and have had a totally fun time with it. Took a few tweaks to get Calendar sync going, to get the launcher I wanted (I use Zeam) and to get everything looking the way I want it to but it's reliable enough for me to use daily.
The one annoying issue (besides video stuff which is just icing on the cake for me) is that the ICS Gmail app doesn't fit the screen, it cuts off at the edges, but this might have been resolved in a nightly or there might be a tweak that I haven't found yet, still searching. If anyone sees one, let me know.
For video I'm just using moboplayer and set default for software decoding. Works well enough for me so far, but I haven't thrown anything heavy at it.
ICS is a little buggy but for the most part its on point!!!

This is what I do as well. Seems to play everything I've thrown at it just fine, now if only streaming stuff/youtube/netflix worked then I'd be golden.

Youtube videos have played fine for me as long as you click on hd to turn it off in the lower left hand corner.

I don't own a cell phone so I am not up on all of the latest and greatest operating systems, so my question is what are the advantages of ICS over CM7? Is it analogous to upgrading from win98 to xp?

Not really. I would say its more like upgrading from windows XP to windows 7. everything feels more redefined . You should really give it a go. Try dual nothing a nightly. I'be been using it for 2 days now and its superb
Does anyone know of one of the ROMs running CM9 that is fully working? I want one that runs Netflix and YouTube.
Thanks
I'm pretty sure that is still the one big holdout across the board for us. I've run the nightlies and am now comfortably on eyeballer's opengl build. Still no flash support. I haven't heard of anyone with it up yet.

Thanks. I really want CM9 but use it a lot for Netflix and YouTube so I'll have to wait until its ready. I have it on my phone and love it. Thanks for the update
I have eyeballers with the OpenGL too... Youtube (non-HD) works... if you have trouble loading a video, turn off the HD and it's fine. As for netflix, it tries to load but is a no go :-( Aside from that, it's great and amazing how much progress they've been making on it!

Yeah, I realized that today, about turning off the hd. I actually switched back to samiam303's 20120204 nightly with opengl off, but the new kernel and youtube worked there too. Netflix puts up a desperate fight though, doesn't it?
The devs will get us there!

So i know lot's of people want to know how to get netflix and hulu working on cm9 roms for the fire and i think i have a work around for those willing to spend a few bucks. I've been using a program called Playon to stream news and comedy central to my xbox and droid for years and it works great...so i got to thinking..i wonder if it works on my kindle fire running the 2-24 cm9 rom? I installed the playon app from the market..then i installed mx video player from the market (don't know if it's really needed but i think it runs better than the stock video player) and after a couple of minutes i was watching netflix on my cm9! With some router tweaks i can now watch my shows anywhere there is wifi too! The picture is of course not high def but it plays pretty good considering there is no hw accel being used. Don't know if this helps anyone but just thought i'd put it out there cuz i'm finally able to watch netflix and hulu on my cm9!!!!

Im Bout to cry of over joyness thanks man
No problem man! Glad i could help someone
I installed PlayOn server and the app on my Kindle, but the Kindle wont find my computer? They're both on the same wifi network. Help?
Are you using windows? If so open up the program and restart it. Then reboot your kindle and if it still doesn't work reboot your router. It took my a couple of times to get it to connect on wifi.
