Description:
I present to you AOKP for the Kindle Fire Milestone 6
Let me start off by giving thanks to some people that have made this possible. Team Kang: Roman Whitehawkx Zaphod-Beeble Jonathon Grigg ProTekk Khas Mek sethyx
And a big thanks to Hashcode who has made a 3.0 kernel for this great piece of hardware!
Major changes since Milestone 5
Removed FB sync
Added ability to hide sender and/or message body in notifications (Mms)
Added CM9 T-Mobile theme manager
Added Sense 4 style Task switcher (you have the option of choosing from stock/web os/sense 4 now)
Added ability to play boot sound (disabled by default) -- read instructions in ROM Control >
General > Boot sound
added delayed ring feature to Phone
added Emoji to Mms (enable in Mms settings)
added AOKP wallpapers app
added USB tether toggle,
added AOKP clock widgets
added notification counters
new boot animation
added nav bar widgets (must add nav bar widgets button/long press button in nav bar settings and add some widgets to play with!)
added bluewall firewall - RC > General UI > Less Notification Sounds -- limits the number of notification sounds an app can play per X seconds, so like 1 GTalk ping/30s, but notifications will still be coming in
improved weather code
added "copy to clipboard" option in "Share" dialogs throughout Android
added hardware info in about screen
added new music layout to lockscreen (you can choose between old and new)
So what makes this build different from the stock (no longer supported) ROM? Well here's a list of features I've added:
System UI
Added volume slider w/mute to the status bar settings panel for quick access to system volume level
Added a screenshot button, which can be enabled in ROM Control, to allow quick access taking a screenshot of current screen.
Trebuchet
Added an easy access settings button at top right of home screen
Added dual docks - now you can use up some of that empty space by placing apps and shortcuts into these two docks for quick access to these apps on any home screen
ROM Control
Added screenshot button which can be added to the navbar buttons
Added settings for changing location of the volume slider in the stats bar settings panel
At this time I have not found any issues with the ROM. If you find a problem/issue/bug please let me know what it is and how to re-create the problem. Working with the source is far easier than the work I have done with MIUI so I have much more control over the issues.
