Chrome doesn't work in most ICS ROMs because it requires HWA, which they don't have yet.
The new kernel 3.0 that's in development/testing does support HWA, but it's ridden with bugs, so it's not a very good idea to flash its ROM unless you really want to test it.
But ive gotten it to work on both cm9/7
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
If you gotten it to work on cm9 then please share how, because again with the lack of hwa in any of the 2.x.x kernels there is no way that you have gotten it to work. The only kernel that provides hwa at the moment is hashcodes 3.0 kernel which has been released for testing and development and is no where near complete. So with this said you may have gotten it to work on a cm7 rom but no way on a cm9 rom without a 3.0 kernel that is still in development.

Like the post above says, where's the screenshots because this is simply impossible without hardware acceleration!! Why do you think hashcode has been working on the 3.0 kernel in the first place? You might as well tell us that you have Netflix working too haha. Not trying to be a douche but I'm telling you it doesn't work with 2.x.x kernels. If you don't believe me go over to hashcodes new user thread in the general section and look at the original post. One of the very first things he instructs users to test to see if the new kernel has any changes is to download the chrome and see if it works.

That's not Chrome, its a browser called Miren (http://miren-browser.en.softonic.com/android), the icon is somewhat similar to chrome, but the similarities end there.
That is definitely not Google chrome.

To clarify: Chrome uses RenderScript extensively. And the 2.6.35 kernel's graphics libraries (from Gingerbread) don't support it very well. Hence Chrome is buggy for almost all Gingerbread kernel-based ICS builds.
The reason Chrome works in the new 3.0 kernel build is that the graphics libraries are brand new and support RenderScript perfectly. Hardware codecs are still not running correctly in the new kernel (among a pleathora of other things).
So the difference for Chrome is RenderScript support and not hardware codecs.
Here are some screenshots of Chrome
Thank you I think the one I downloaded got the image change because it said chrome and has the chrome image

I've finally decided to return my broken kindle fire for a new one, under warranty. It should be here tomorrow.
I haven't used a kindle fire in a couple months, and when I was using it, it was rooted with some rom that I completely forgot.
What I want to know is, what rom should I use, that is the most stable?
I've been hearing good things about Jellybean, but I just want to be 100% sure.
Any suggestions?
Also, a Kindle Fire case suggestion would be nice, but is not needed. Really just want a rom suggestion.

Yea, I heard that case is very stable. :laugh:
Yea, I'd say go with Jandycane or Hashcode's AOSP ROM. I think Hashcode's is a bit more stable (from my experience), however Jandycane does have more features, and a Tablet UI.
the Eye Candy Rom is pretty amazing.

Jandycane. Updates frequently, has a tablet UI like ics, works perfectly, and is fully jelly bean.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Jandycane ROM v 1.6
I would say to give twa_priv's rom a try also. It's a cm10 rom and you can toggle tablet ui in settings.
sent from my Kindle Fire running CM10 Jelly Bean
I am also going to recommend twa_priv's CM10 ROM.
Jandycane is so smooth. I recommend it.
And, Apex Launcher is a good home application for jelly bean.
Off course, why not install xda-application

Hello, I wanted to ask a question about why a mic works on Gingerbread ROMs but not on ICS or JB. I've tested a lot of ROMs and I've managed to make the Mic work once only in GB. I don't know much about how this works but I think its a driver problem or something because I installed a the Stock GB Sound Recorder on a JB ROM but now it wouldn't work. Could someone help if there's a way to make the Mic work on JB or at least ICS. I really don't like GB and would like to use this ability on a actual good OS such as JB 4.2.

Badly want mic functionality on these versions as well...ideally Jellybean, but I figure progress is progress and ICS is better than nothing.

Was thinking the same thing. I saw hashcode say he was hoping to have it working in his next ROM update but that came out yesterday and no mention of it.

No, it hasn't been fixed yet, I have his latest update and still doesn't work. If there there's no help or installation of the Mic on the JB than I will find a way do so, but i prefer a actual developer who DOES know how to fix this problem because I am not very skilled at this sort of things.

Working on the Mic and so far made little progress. So far only got the Mic to be recognized but cant read what I say. I guess progress is progress but I need help because it's quite complicated.

One issue I know of is that you need the exact version of Google Voice Search to use some voice based features. That being said, in ICS and JellyBean much has changed in terms of Voice Search so that could be an issue. I think its a kernel issue with 3.x kernels, but lets wait till hashcode tries a fix
My knowledge? From my own thread!

Yes, just make sure you have the Mic Update.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770672 Page 3 by @sbradymobile . Use the Update.zip, just flash in recovery. Also Hashcode, I think, has it in the 3.4 Kernel.

Hello, I need help with Distinguishing between the KF1 and KF2. You see I replaced my KF1 with another KF. But the problem is that I don't know if they sent me a KF2 or KF1. The system of 6.3.1 is installed on it but, the KF feels as fast as a KF2. But, I'm not sure if its a KF2 with 6.3.1 installed on it. Please help me know how to tell the difference.

Probably should go in the Q&A section, but I believe that if your KF can't update to the latest KF2 software version (10.something I believe) then you have a KF1. Could be wrong though.

Are you sure its not separated into 11.x.x and 13.x.x based on the different device size? (7” and 8.9”) because a few days ago someone else had the same thing on theirs but I swear it was an hdx because of the resolution size and such, looked different.

O that is very interesting, I was wrong, after some research I just found out that for some reason they made a second generation HD model, don't know why the heck the would do that. Guess it was released alongside the hdx models and no one mentioned it? Guess we ha e more models than we thought to try to obtain root on.

You have the newest version of the kfhd kinda like the kf2 is sold as the same product as the kindle fire one. The closest section we have to that model is the hdx section right now. Hang in there I'm sure root will come.

In the new version thats not an option (theres not an about option). You can find firmware version in the system update menu and thats about it.
currently its on 11.3.03
I can't even get ADB to work with this version. I've followed the instructions on like 5 different pages and no dice. I even downloaded the entire google sdk and downloaded drivers from the addon page for amazon devices. Windows 7 64 bit. Nothing works. It is incredibly frustrating.
I too have the firee HD 7" 2013 model with version 11.3.0.3. Haven't had any success finding any answers either. I was told this was "THE" place to look for a root option. Guess we will just have to keep waiting. I'm new at this but I have been reading a lot out there and I would like to give a shout out for all the people who make this site happen. Thanks guys.
