BUILDING THIS ROM:
First, read through Google's Android website about "how to setup a build environment":
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
Then you can setup the Kindle Fire by doing the following:
mkdir android
cd android
(Use main repo for CyanogenMod 10.1)
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android -b cm-10.1
repo sync
vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch otter2

So does the mic input not work At all or is it off and on?

It was taking me to the gapps page on goo.im (which was intended), but I went ahead and edited it to be the latest file.
Been running since the first un-offical builds, been running the offical for a few weeks now, been running like a charm.
Just an FYI, On my device when I try to reboot to recovery, the device just reboots in to android.
Edit; Brief video for you, as you can see it reboots like normal (Sorry for the background noise!)

Yeah, one of the funny bits with installing Nightlies is that randomly stuff will break. I try and keep track of which has the most working as I'm moving along so that I can revert to a more "stable" version if needed.
Hashcode, will we get the m3 build?

Thank you so mutch .just downloaded the m3 build. So nice to have you.
Gesendet von meinem Amazon Kindle Fire2 mit Tapatalk 2
Yeah we weren't on the original M3 list so I had to get added and for a re-run that the CM team did a day later.
From now on, we should be on the right list to get the monthly stable builds.
Hashcode, there is a little problem with the naming of our otter2 device. It shows me on the get.cm site that this is a kindle fire hd.
Yep, i reported it yesterday.

Building CM10.1 from source
Hashcode, I have successfully built CM10.1 from source for the otter2 by following the instructions in this thread and the CyanogenMod wiki. Thanks for the great work.
However, I did have a couple of issues that I had to work around. I'm not sure if it's because I did something wrong or because there is a problem. When I got to the "Extract Proprietary Blobs" section and ran the device/amazon/otter2/extract-files.sh script, I received an error message saying that the lib/hw/sensors.otter.so file couldn't be found. I poked around the filesystem on my KF2 (running CM10.1 nightly cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-otter2-M3), and found that there was a lib/hw/sensors/otter2.so file.
Similarly, the file vendor/amazon/otter2/otter2-vendor-blobs.mk also contained the reference to otter rather than otter2, and caused a problem later in the build cycle.
By changing the otter to otter2 in both device/amazon/otter2/proprietary-files.txt and vendor/amazon/otter2/otter2-vendor-blobs.mk, I was able to get the build to complete successfully. Is this a known issue or did I do something wrong?
Thanks.
I noticed i only have 673 total ram with this rom...my ram has been stolen lol...I flashed from this cm10.1 to stock rom, and on stock ram shows right.. around 924 total.. but with this rom im missing ram, i only have 673 total.. Possible bug? What is the cause an how can i fix this?
Newest nightlies will include an all new audio driver in the Android OS. It works, but it's not finished (no MIC support yet).
I'll try and keep this updated as testing continues.
Did anyone else have issues with the last nightly not booting? I tried flashing 17 twice but kept letting stuck at the boot logo. Flashed 15 back again and up and running again.

I'd like to start this out by stating that these are personal builds. I'm not trying to compete with @transi1's developer prowess; on the contrary, I feel he's done a fantastic job with TWRP 3.0.0 and porting CM13 over to the kindles, and he's part of the reason why I'm motivated to do this side project. I'm releasing these for the purpose of bettering the Marshmallow experience on our aging kindles. I want to see if a different build configuration will help improve performance and reduce lag. I'm also wanting to learn my way through the nuances of ROM development, so I intend on starting small.

READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER
I don't intend to fray any circuits when I compile these builds. However, there's always a chance that something could really go wrong and inadvertently damage your device. In such an event, I (and the awesome XDA community) will try our best to help get you back up and running. However, please don't try to sue me if your device:
doesn't work as a result of flashing this;
initiates a nuclear meltdown, or;
doesn't permit your alarm clock to function normally.
By flashing, you automatically assume responsibility for any loss of data, functionality, or facial hair. Although a 10% tip would be nice if it started printing out money.

Downloads:
click the Downloads tab at the top of the page, or just click here. I'm also mirroring this on Google Drive for convenience. Builds will go up on AndroidFileHost. Use this link to find and download the latest releases.
OpenGapps: use ARM, 6.0, package of your choice (I'll create a custom .gapps-config later)
SuperSU: make sure to run echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu in the TWRP terminal (advanced -> terminal) before flashing SuperSU, or else you'll have to perform a restore via fastboot (credit to @r3t3ch for finding the solution)
Features:
[*]Compiled with UBERTC 4.9
UBERTC toolchain causes the post-compiled builds with the 3.0.72+ kernel to break in a really embarrassing way, so this isn't used for now

Roadmap
The following is a list of features I think will make it onto future builds. Feel free to contribute any suggestions, bug reports, etc.
Layers/RRO theming support
Custom boot animation (or at least one scaled to the kindle's screen size)
Possible removal of some unused stock apps (I'll package them into a separate flashable .zip in case)
Publication of a custom .gapps-config file for use with opengapps packages
I'm going to attempt to resolve the infamous camera bug by starting from a known good point in time and backtracking up through transi's kernel commits. This means a lot more frequent builds (sometimes unstable!) in the next couple days. I hope you guys are ready for more testing.
So far, it seems like transi's github commits to the common device repos may have fixed the camera (thus the reason why I didn't release another backtrack through the kernel commits). However, I don't know for sure, as I haven't tested out today's build yet. Any testers coming from earlier builds should not dirty flash this release; a clean wipe would be preferable. Feel free to let me know how things go.
Today's nightly has nothing special in terms of features, etc. However, I'm going to start implementing features as outlined in the roadmap. As usual, do let me know if there's something you'd like to see.
Some updates...
I still haven't gotten around to trying to bring RRO to this ROM. Apparently, CM's theme engine (which should have been compatible with RRO, but isn't) has conflicts with RRO/layers, and those have discouraged me from bringing RRO in (so far).
I think TWRP 3.0.2 needs to be built for both jem & tate. That release has some important fixes regarding encrypted backups, and even the TWRP people themselves recommend you stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups. I'm going to build for another ROM (hai there, OmniROM!) and compile against that source for TWRP. EDIT: transi said he'd wait till TWRP 3.0.3 is released to compile it, so we can stand to wait for it.
More updates...
It's been a while since the last build. Obviously, this one I just uploaded is about 2 weeks old at the time of writing. You may be wondering why I took so long to drop this build. It's complicated:
I was seriously curious as to how the camera managed to break down during transi's kernel backporting in mid-/late March. Such curiosity led me to attempt to revert the device repos to a stable state so I could build against 3.0.72+ instead of 3.0.101+.
My reversion efforts were successful (for the most part). I was able to get the process to succeed like normal, but when I tested out the builds (compiled against UBERTC), there was a breaking issue. The camera worked well enough (as I expected), but as soon as I tapped any textbox at all (even the password prompt for a WiFi network that required one), the screen would glitch out and force a reboot. I thought that maybe it was an error on CM's part, so I waited a day or so and compiled again, getting the same issue. At that point, I was baffled and decided to recompile with CM's native toolchain instead of UBERTC.
That build was on 7/1, and is the build that was uploaded an hour ago. I had it built then, but was waiting for a good time to test it out to see if that issue was resolved. Sure enough, when I tested it out tonight, it didn't occur.
Also, you may have noticed that I changed the ROM project name to CM redux. I did this to signify that this project won't be a full-on verbatim port of CM. (right now it is, but that's beside the point.) The name won't officially show up in the ROM itself until the next build, most likely.
Finally, some planned changes:
I'm going to continue with my backtracking scheme. I want to know exactly which commit is responsible for the software failure of the camera.
Obvious name change in the ROM, mentioned earlier.
Replacing CM's theme engine with RRO(?)
CM bloat cleanup. The ROM itself boots in 30 seconds, which is nice and all, but I'd like to try to trim it down a little more.

That depends on what apps you have installed, how heavily you use the device, and other factors. Try installing BetterBatteryStats as a system app, using it for a few days, and then report back some of the data it collects.

I have a similar issue when I let my kindle sit overnight. I'm guessing it might be a commit that I reversed when I reverted to the 3.0.72+ source. I'll do a new build within the next few days with a few kernel updates thrown in.

Edit: As far as I can tell this is no longer needed on the latest Lineage OS 14.1 builds.
I edited another module I found here to do what I needed it to do. Basically, Android Wear won't run on CM14.1 Nightlies because they are UserDebug so I made a script to get around this issue. I think that as long as Magisk is enabled that it should persist with each update instead of having to manually edit the build.props yourself each time. I take no credit for the script except my small edits.
The original script is for enabling Google Assistant and can be found here.
This has no warranty in the very unlikely event bad things happen I'm not responsible. I made this for myself and just thought it would be useful to others.
Special Thanks to stangri and Setialpha for their hard work on their modules that I used to make this.
Awesome, but why not just edit build.prop? Why are the nightlies set to userdebug in the first place?
I'm pretty sure they've always been like that. The reason why you would use this is it's a hassle to manually edit it every day when you update to the new nightly.

The whole point of magisk is to NOT modify the actual build.prop or make ANY changes in /system
How do you enable magisk?

My script basically does the same thing except you don't have to manually edit the file they time you update your os because it always makes sure it's the correct property. So using magisk and my script is a much better solution.
This has reached a point that those who don't depend BT calling may be able to use it as a daily driver. Just be sure to backup first!
The flashing on first boot during setup may cause issues for those with epilepsy. This is due to how to disable the second screen.
Working:
Camera! https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.7Beta2.apk is recommended with Nexus 6 HDR config in advanced settings.
Bluetooth (skips with wifi, and doesn't work in call)
NFC
Wifi -- two users have reported issues on their devices, while it works for others.
GPS
Sensors
Sound
Calls
Fingerprint
Data
WiFi tethering
Second screen disable hack
Not working and issues:
Screen glitches on first boot. Reboot and will be good after (part of hack to disable 2nd screen)
Tap to wake
Flashlight tile: install flashlight tile for kenzo in play store with root to workaround.
Slight animation glitch when switching activities due to second screen hack.
BT issues above, and doesn't work in call.
If you use camera immediately after turning on, it may not work. You must wait about a minute after powering for it to work (it will always work after).
Probably more.
TODO
BT fixes
Tap to wake
flashlight tile
get a proper 2nd screen fix like v20 working without additional issues. v20 dtsi hack doesn't work for us due to dual panel depending on partial update (most likely).

Bugs with workarounds:
Wifi doesn't connect and MAC address is all zeroes (only some users):
This is a misc partition that has MAC address hardcoded to a randomly generated address. This should work permanently on any device with the issue so long as two aren't on the same network. If anyone would like instructions on how to modify with a new MAC address, let me know.
Image https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056033811
Instructions:
Place on /sdcard
Reboot to recovery (for advanced reboot in CypherOS hold reboot button for full menu)
From twrp terminal or adb shell, run: dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
Reboot and enjoy fixed wifi
No charging indicator (but still charges):
Boot device plugged into power or USB and the indicator will work the entire power cycle. Working on a fix but not as trivial as I'd hoped.
Bootloop bug:
I recently got hit by the infinite bootloop bug, with the only workaround of disabling the big cluster. Here's a modified TWRP that only uses the little cluster (used Eliminator74's image):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056035329

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207491774
nvm, fixed in current build
Just uploaded a new build. Changes:
Tweaked touch offset
Synced CypherOS to 6.0.0 (fixes navbar on first boot and some others)
Fixed init script to set display res (part of the second screen disable hack)

That lineage-15.1 branch that is being used is based on the lineage 14.1 g4 kernel. I added a h901 defconfig, three commits needed for v10 (incl 2nd screen hack), fast charging, all commits needed for Oreo (since g4 isn't supported on los 15.1), then merged in CAF.
Regarding the other variants (which are now all unlockable thanks to g4 guys), I added a commit by ehem which added the panel dtsi for other variants, but as of yet only h901 builds have been tested on the kernel. Other variants should work with the correct defconfigs and device repos adapted from their g4 counterparts.
Hope I answered fully.

Hey, I just have a question, I'm sorry probably borrowing your thread to ask, but how'd you get the ROM to build using 15.1/14.1? I've been working on a port horrible the h901, but for the life of me I can't get the ROM to build.
Also, when I get a chance I'll check out your ROM, haven't gotten to play with oreo much as of yet.

Ask any question you want here! I'm not sure specifically what issue you ran into while attempting to build, but the repo links in OP are fully up to date (incl the lineage-15.1 branches).
Unfortunately los 15.1 has the graphical glitches (due to 2nd screen hack) after the second boot as well, so I'll be sticking with cypheros for testing for now.
I'll make a project manifest shortly to further simplify building.

Sweet, I'll have to have a look at those repos. Only ones I could find before were cm 13.1. I was working on a RR 14.1 port, since that's one of my fav roms, but basically the error I got was a brunch error as it couldn't find the needed files (maybe the manifest? It's been about a week since I poked it). It kept looking at the lineage servers and couldn't find the right cm versions. It also couldn't find other things as well, but I'll have to poke it again to remember what exactly.
Thank you though!
(I also just realized that my auto correct called the h901 horrible. It's def not horrible. xD)

For building without the manifest, clone the device and vendor repos to their correct folders, check aoscp.dependencies to clone additional repos to their correct folders, then just run . build/envsetup.sh ; breakfast aoscp_h901-userdebug, and then you can make bacon ?
I based the device repos off the g4 repos for aoscp, which are just los 14.1 with Oreo and now v10 changes. The kernel is based on the los 14.1 lge msm8992 kernel with changes necessary for Oreo, CAF merged in, fast charging support, the second screen disable hack, a commit for building properly with a lge display flag, the dtsi for other v10 variants (thanks to ehem), and a defconfig for h901.
Edit: keep in mind RR may have the same display corruption issue with our second screen hack that LOS has for us.
New build uploaded. Changes:
- Fixed touchscreen alignment. Bottom of navbar now works.
- Synced with upstream CypherOS
- Testing navbar theme settings from gerrit.
New build uploaded. Changes:
- Possibly fixed occasional no sim on boot (ty kessaras/steadfasterx)
- Synced with CypherOS
- A few upstream ALSA kernel changes

No, but it can be. Is your device bootloader unlocked? If so, I'll do a build from h815 (g4 equiv) you can test. If not, I can help bootloader unlock it with USU.
I'm not sure how many know, but all v10 variants are now bootloader unlockable with USU. I just haven't had a chance to build for them or post details.
well, will this Kernel of this ROM compatible with H960A variant? and what really changes in this Kernel?
Thank u.

Yes, it only needs a config for h960 at this point. Ehem imported the panels for all the other variants so we can use a unified kernel between all g4 and v10 variants.
Will done sir i'll buy you a bear on your bitcoin wallet for sure.. Gr8 job
An old user for v10 (p20 pro now) but still love this beast
New build uploaded. This won't fix wifi issues for those that have them. This build needs a dalvik-cache wipe after dirty flash due to memory override changes (last bullet). I've also started using AndroidFileHost for uploads.
Changes:
- Synced with upstream CypherOS (bumped to april security bulletin and a few new features).
- NFC should be fixed. This needs more testing, as I don't have anything to test the functionality but it turns on/off.
- Corrected STM laser permissions (autofocus seems to be like in stock rom now).
- Changed link to modified google camera in OP since the previous version didn't have functional HDR+.
- Dalvik heap and hwui memory overrides updated for our device's 4G ram and high res display.
And thank you @sherif2222222
kernel-plus for Nokia 6
This project is made to enhance user experiences using the Linux kernel on the Nokia 6 phone.
What this kernel have:
Additional CPU governors (alucard, nightmare, darkness, bioshock, blu_active), with "darkness" as the default governor for stability and battery life
SafetyNet compatibility
Enforcing SELinux (can be easily changed by modifying the flashable ZIP)
exFAT and NTFS read/write drivers (userspace programs will be necessary to access those functionalities) << THE FIRST ANDROID KERNEL TO HAVE NTFS KERNEL DRIVER
Latest patches from kernel.org for its respective release version (in this case 3.18.y)
Latest commits from CAF for its respective release version (in this case msm-3.18)
/proc/config.gz support for you kernel builders out there
What this kernel will have in the future:
EAS support with schedutil (currently work-in-progress)
Double tap to wake support (planned)
Overclocking support (planned)
Different kernel release upstream branch (planned)
>Is it safe to use the kernel? Have you done any tests?
Yes. I personally am using it with pirrat25's LineageOS 15.1 custom ROM (Oreo 8.1) on my Nokia 6 and it just works. I don't really know yet about long term usability so let me know in the thread!
>So, it has never been tested on stock ROM?
No, it has been tested to be not working (on Pie). YMMV, though. So go and try it! (Don't forget to give feedback in the thread if you do, thanks!)
>Will you add more features to the kernel? It's so barren!
Yes. That feature roadmap list is definitely not final. I will try and get as many features as I can to the kernel, so please stay tuned! Also, YOU can also contribute and add new features to the kernel. Just fork the source code on GitHub and make a pull request when you think you've got enough work on it.

Installation Guide
How to install the kernel?
Simple answer: "Just flash it using TWRP"
---
Well, it's that easy. Just flash the file you have downloaded using TWRP, and reboot the phone. Nothing fancy, just flash and it's all set.
Additional note: For some (unknown) reason Magisk would not survive the kernel flash procedure. You will need to flash Magisk installer zip after flashing the kernel to use it.
-----
How to change the kernel to boot into permissive SELinux mode?
While for security (and SafetyNet) it is not recommended to set the kernel to boot into permissive SELinux mode, you can easily modify the kernel flash script to do so (you can even disable SELinux altogether, but it is STRICTLY NOT RECOMMENDED)
To modify the kernel flash script, you must edit the "anykernel.sh" file.
From this
Code:
patch_cmdline androidboot.selinux=permissive androidboot.selinux=enforcing
-
To this:
Code:
patch_cmdline androidboot.selinux=permissive androidboot.selinux=permissive
or to this - if you want to disable SELinux altogether:
Code:
patch_cmdline androidboot.selinux=permissive androidboot.selinux=disabled
After it is done, you can repack the ZIP (I don't recommend applying compression to the ZIP) and flash it on TWRP
hello, I tried this but it doesnt work on stockrom base on Pie.
I also made a kernel based on nokia source V6* weeks ago with the kernel ver 3.18.120 from nokia, with pre enabled permissive mode and enabled some on menuconfig and governors and it seems to work everything, did it for personal purpose.
I also tried to upstream it, but I'm stuck got lots of error cuz I directly jump to the last version of kernel which is 3.18.140. did tried adding also EAS to the kernel, but there is alot of file to be added and fixing the error and symlinks manually so I didnt continue there since im doing it on my Celeron laptop.
anyway this one wont flash on TWRP, gets error using anykernel3 zip, something error like " update error:1" I dont remember exactly the whole text.
same thing for fastboot. I replaced the kernel from stockboot.img from this one and get Remote failed: dtb not found. (tried 3x) I know the compiled sources are dtb file but it doest get read,
which is the same procedure when I compiled my kernel which works.
thank you for making a time doing it for the N6 users. hopefully it will work soon.

Can you please take note of the error message? It would be impossible for me to fix if you don't give me the details
>I replaced the kernel from stockboot.img from this one and get Remote failed: dtb not found. (tried 3x) I know the compiled sources are dtb file but it doest get read
This looks really strange. Is it possible that dtb layout from Oreo differs to the one on Pie? If it is, then I'll need to patch more and create a specific custom Makefile option to make it possible to compile more than one dtb image per source.
I will update the OP to let people know that this doesn't work (yet) on the stock Pie ROM
Cheers!

or maybe because of TWRP, I use the bootable version which 3.2.3-0, but I can flash any zip on it. except for the anykernel zip that gets same error, which is also I did before for my compiled kernel.
and only gets to work when fastbooting the .img
Also when I compiled the kernel sources based on pie V6 from nokia, I got a dtb file size of about 18mb. where the stockboot image is 21mb. the one you compiled is in smaller size which maybe there is something missing files to get to work on pie I think?

Maybe try to use the official TWRP? It has full support and stuff, but I couldn't manage to flash the custom ROM there so to each their own
>he one you compiled is in smaller size which maybe there is something missing files to get to work on pie I think?
Yeah, maybe that's the culprit. Is it because I don't integrate all modules inside the kernel image? I will try and compile all the modules inside the kernel. The final ZIP size is 25MB though so it is actually bigger in total compared to the stock boot image.
Like I said, I will fix this issue once I got the real problem, so that all Nokia 6 user can enjoy using custom kernel images :fingers-crossed:
Finally a custom kernel for our phone! looks like i really need to unlock the bootloader now. Thanks for your effort from making this one!
btw sorry if it's OOT but is the LOS 15.1 ROM stable enough for daily driver use?

>is the LOS 15.1 ROM stable enough for daily driver use?
Yes – only if you wouldn't mind not being able to use the fingerprint scanner (and the button backlights). Other than that it's good! As an added bonus, the built in camera firmware is on par with the GCam port for this phone, without the shutter lag
I installed latest plus kernel on stock pie. it works now on my device. but wifi doesnt work.
if u set CONFIG_PRONTO_WLAN=m into CONFIG_PRONTO_WLAN=y on PLE_defconfig wifi will work. hope this error is due to this, kind of a sign error i hope so. I experienced this same error when i tried to build los.

So, it cannot boot on Pie, right? I will work for Pie ROMs on a separate branch, then!
I really thought there weren't going to be any changes in userspace compatibility between Oreo and Pie. Turned out I am wrong

Okay, so I guess I had to merge drivers into the kernel again, huh? Will do! (Expect new version later today with even more updates)

You built LOS? What version? I would like to have it if it's working and is LineageOS 16 or later!

Thanks for ur efforts on kernel plus! keep this going on. we will hope later updates
I tried to build los 16 but i failed. I built los 15.1 using pirats tree. tried to fix fingerprint,hotspot and backlight bugs . Only i managed to fix hotspot bug also i managed to set Selinux to enforced on los 15.1 userdebug build without any major issue.

There's a hotspot bug? I don't experience anything strange on it here. Anyways could you please share the fixed build (on the respective pirrat's thread)? Any fixes' a goal!

In my build im having a unusual battery usage cant even find what is the cause for it. i thought it was due to tree . let me know if u have a quick battery drain in idle on urs.

Maybe? I don't know, I started the kernel development almost immediately after I got my hands on 15.1. For what I know, the battery drains but I think that's because of my battery breaking down (thinking about having ~2500mAh left intact) (this kernel is really good at maintaining idle battery life through HW controlled deep sleep though, thanks to "darkness" governor)

Can u join me on telegram ""t.me/cbkings"" . :fingers-crossed: maybe we can talk little about development just in case .
Thanks for making a custom kernel, i tried it with Lineage OS 15.1, but everytime when i deploy it with TWRP 3.4.0, it soft-bricks my android installation. (or even TWRP itself also, but i am not sure)
Also im using TA-1033.
Edit: Changed TWRP to 3.3.1 and installed Magisk before applying, now it boots, but GUI is messed up.

Hey! Just wanted to inform you that the new kernel release (plus_v1.5) got all the drivers built into the kernel image. Hopefully now the Wi-Fi will work on stock Pie ROM.
Please give an update if you're trying it out!

Have you tampered the GPU drivers? You can try to wipe the GPU cache (also the /cache partition and runtime (dalvik) cache) to fix issues with broken UI elements
