So I am running XDA Senior Member twa_priv 's build of jellybean (20120824 ROM; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010), and I found out that with ICS, people were able to use USB hosting with an OTG cable. I found a pretty decent case that has a full-sized male USB port, and I was wondering if anyone knows if USB hosting works with this ROM, and if I need any other software to run it? I am about to update to the 20120912 ROM if that makes any difference.
What I saw from ICS demos is that it is running Hashcode's 3.0 kernel, and I also am running 3.0.x, so I would think that this works, but I haven't had any success.

for me otg connecting things have always only worked sometimes. Like the kf would need to be fully charged but even then it only worked sometimes. Yes i have gotten it to work on jb though.

Thanks

Hi all,
First of all,I would like to thank all xda community for providing such dedicated forum.I love my kindle fire with cm7.So here comes the question,should I try ics roms ? if so,which is the most stable one as of now ? my main concerns are stability and battery consumption.
best regards,
I started a similar thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621073 it may help you out a bit. I've tried many of the ICS ROM's and really like gedeROM. I've used it with Hash's #7 and #8 Kernel and have had 0 issues except what is stated by the dev. gedeROM is having some issues with not taking ADB commands, at least that's what I read. I suppose there is a little bit of risk involved with that. If you find yourself in a jam you may limit your options in finding a solution. Nonetheless many people are still using it and really like it.
Thanks a lot.

I am running Reloaded CM9 from BiteBlaze and it works almost flawless with the 3.0 #8 kernel. I can get about 2-3 days before charging and that is with moderate to heavy usage.
I just posted this on a similar thread thats going on, im just gonna copy and paste it here as I think it applies.
"It's funny to me how these roms seem to work differently for different people. I mean shouldn't all of these devices be the same? gedeROM works perfect for me, no wifi issues at all, but I couldn't get Energy to run at all no matter what I did.
I think the real answer to your question is that there isn't one best rom, you just have to try them and see which one seems to like your device the best "
Aokp has been very reliable for me so far, and I've been charging normally from a wall charger. Reloaded seemed to eat battery and wouldn't charge whilst switched on. Other than that it was very good.
My pick has to be aokp milestone5 though. Seems very feature-complete (although some people have said that Google earth doesn't work on it), and the battery acts how I expect it to.
I've been using the CM9 ROM that Hashcode has up next to his kernel releases. Once I figured out how to get the android market installed and the amazon market installed, I've been all set. Every app I've installed from either market has worked without issue so far.
The only hiccups app-wise was the Swype installer detects the screen size is too large, but someone pointed me at a solution for that, and Chrome beta is..well, a beta.
I haven't run into the charging issues that people have had, but I'm using either the stock charger or my 3G Kindle cable plugged into a USB3 port. I have a general feeling that most of the charging issues are due to using ****ty cables or lack of understanding that the 3.0 kernel Hashcode is working on doesn't properly report battery/charging just yet.
Video is smoother than the stock Amazon ROM and apps in general feel snappier, even with it clocked to 800Mhz whereas most ROMs seems to run 1GHz by default, I'm underclocking a bit just to see how it'll react.
Overall, I'm 100% happier with Hashcode's CM9 ROM that I ever was with the Kindle Fire at stock. I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the Amazon integration features and content, but Jeff Bezos doesn't hold a monopoly on content, so I can get everything from other places.
Ive got 2 galaxy nexus', and 2 generic mhl adapters.
1 from was running build 39 (or something around there) with francos latest kernel. I try the MHL adapters and neither work. I flashed a JB rom and it still doesnt work.
All it does is send my phone into an endless boot loop.
So the second phone is brand new and bone stock. I plug in the adapter and things work great. I figure it must be some hardware issue. I proceed to flash AOKP (milestone 6 stock kernel). I go to plug in the adapters and neither work. It just sends me through a bootloop again.
Ive tried all different combinations of plugging in the HDMI cord, turning on this, switching that, plugging in the power cord, etc... Nothing works.
Is it AOKP? Id rather not waste the money buying the official adapter if it wont work either.
Any suggestions? I really need MHL but I didnt buy the galaxy nexus to run a stock rom.
BTW, both adapters work on my rezound and as I said, also worked on the new one fresh out the box.

Why not try a different ROM like CM and see if MHL works? If it works with other custom ROMs, you can then ask AKOP if they'll have MHL support in the future. If they won't then it's time to find another ROM.
Try a different kernel. Sometimes that makes all the difference in communicating through other interfaces (ie Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, MHL, etc). I use leankernel.
You have usb fast charge enabled?

Wow I can't believe that that's all it was. Thanks. I've read multiple threads on mhl not working and never has your suggestion came up.
It does make me wonder why it worked on the stock rom though. Anyways, as long as it works I'm happy. Thanks again.
Woa woa, what was that? Now U say its working on JB AOKP?
I own an S2 and my AOKP ROM didnt support it, dont remember the kernel, now on Aberration ROM with Siyah kernel and works badly
What is that of fast charge setting?
Hey there,
I'm not that n00b when it comes to Android (battery calibration is no secret to me, my phone is rooted, I can use CWM, etc/whatever) but I've never flashed any ROM or Kernel. But after buying an MHL cable and noticing that my phone (T999V) is not fast-charging even though the usb cable is connected to a power adapter, I felt the need to flash a custom kernel which supports fast-charging (don't wanna get another cable!).
After a bit of research, I decided to settle on Leankernel. BUT...then I learned that it wouldn't work with the stock, Touchwiz ROM (only CM10 or AOSP, and maybe AOKP). To make it worse, I learned that NFC on CM10 is broken, and that since Qualcomm's code is not open source, using CM10 will result in the CPU working at only about 60% of its full capacity...
Could anybody help me a bit on this confusing endeavor? I do have to advise that I won't be turning flash-crazy, flashing nightlies and etc, I want something fast and stable, that I'll be keeping for a while (got at least 55 apps installed...don't wanna re-install them several times a month...and not even every month).

so what is your question exactly? are you looking for a recommendation on what ROM you should run?
if that is the case, i would recommend infamous. and check out my thread here in Q and A about flashing ROMs...
good luck

Yes, I was looking for a recommendation. Sorry, I realized that the title of my thread was not the best but it was too late...! In the best of worlds, I basically want to flash a kernel that has USB fast-charge that can work on stock touchwiz. I would want to use Leankernel but I would have to flash AOSP on my phone. By the way, is there anything such as pure un-modded AOSP and where can I find it?
how can LGOG use usb otg... my device is rooted, can? e975
with a cable for it! :what:
It does not support OTG mode.
?
all fine with OTG lol
yeah,same here, both mhl and usb otg work just fine.
with a stock rom?
Much like skdubg, I'm running cm10.1 (0420) with the houcha kernel (3.4.41), and OTG/MHL has never worked.
I've got an e971 and with no microsd slot, I would love to see OTG on this phone. MHL would just be icing on the cake...

MHL is supposed to work in Chads CM10.1 at least, might be the Houcha kernel not supporting it.

MHL works with Houcha kernel... :fingers-crossed:
all good
Weird. I've tried a couple of times over the span of the last month or so and it didn't work. Could be my cable I guess, but I'll give it another go when I get home tonight.
EDIT:
MHL does work! I swear the last time I tried it did nothing. Still no OTG, though. The light on my flashdrive doesn't even light up for a second.
After trying several different roms I have finally found the one that seems to work the best. The stock JB rom runs like a dream, however the lack of headphone port is about to become a dealbreaker. I have looked around but can't seem to find anyone answering this exact question. Is there a custom rom out there that is just as slick as the stock JB rom that has working headphone jack?

What you see is what you get. The JB ROMs listed on XDA's site here are the only ones I know of for the Kindle.

I don't think I've tried the CM10 rom yet. I just really like how smoothly the JB rom runs and none of the other roms have come anywhere close to being as stable. Wish there was a workaround.

Which ones have you used? Just curious.....
I am running Hashcode's 4.2 on two rooted KF's for my kids and it works pretty good. The only thing I have noticed is there may be a slight delay on Youtube or Netflix recognizing earbuds, but it's minimal. I think this is a great ROM and appreciate his work.

I tried the GEDE(?) rom and the CM9 rom before JB. The best thing about the JB rom so far is how solid the wifi has been, and compatibility with apps is much better.

Ok so this is the same rom I use so I was confused that you said the earbuds work. I went ahead and tested again and now I am able to get sound. I honestly am at a loss. It's awesome that it works but I don't understand why now and not before. Maybe I was running into whatever you were talking about when you said it takes a moment to pick up headphones?

I thought the same thing the first time I used this ROM and actually thought I had to unplug my earbuds and plug them in to get it to work. It turned out for me that it was just a few second delay. Not sure why it does it, but once I got used to it, it wasn't a big deal.
Edit:
I actually recall that it took me 2 times the first time I used this ROM to get it to work. The first time I could not get any sound either and did a wipe and put it back on. Since then it's work great.
