Please, the Quicker we can get rid of fire os the better. Aosp all the way baby. Love this tablet but hate fire os. It says a lot about how bloated fire iswhen I always only have 400 mb of ram available out of the 2gb. And when I do a fresh reboot I have 700mb free. It's pathetic that it's this bloated.

Iv always had a problem playing mkvs on fire also. Hoping that aosp will fix that. Hoping aosp will fix the issue we have with connecting a ps3 controller amongst many other problems fire presents.

how to change /system partition size

When I go to create a new slot - the system size cannot be changed from 1.5gb.

This is where the APK's go, so I'm already out of space - I tired to create a new slot but the + for system does not increase - any manual way of doing this?

My ideal KindleFire

I want to run in Stock ROM. I want access to Amazon services and Google Services. I like the Android "desktop", for lack of a better description, I have no interest in the Fire os carousel. I don't know enough about what "AOSP" defines to know if this is the only way to get the Android desktop.

Your first thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591547) did some of what I was looking for without the Android desktop. I had it loaded and running in my stock ROM before I installed Safe strap. Then in safestrap I had a ROM slot set up with Cpasjuste's method of access, but not enough memory in the ROM slot. I could have lived with that setup if it had been in my stock ROM. In my attempt to put it in the stock ROM position from a backup of my ROM slot, rather than start from scratch and build it there a second time, I bricked the device.

When I get a new one, I will use safestrap to make backups but I will only build on my stock ROM. That is where I want to have my device running.

i am having a similar problem and think safe strap is not so safe ,,,,but we were warned,,but a few folks have been getting bricks from rom slots failing and then being stuck at the gray kindle fire splash screen which is what happened to me with no adb and just mtp showing up in device manager :(

if anyone thinks they can help I'm all ears
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wowwashington:
I was able to adb when my Kindle showed up as a MTP device. I did start my adb with the root13 - just so I had access to do what I wanted each time. So are you unable to get SafeStrap to load as well?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jjrizzelcincy:
no not at the moment the mtp driver does not load right and just installs as a windows mtp usb device

on 32-bit windows 7

Something is weird is happening to my kindle. I have my stock ROM, I backed it up, created my rom-slot1, restored my backup on rom-slot1, when I boot up under rom slot-1, it boots but boots up having me register my kindle, once it registers my apps do not show on the home screen, but on the app drawer it does. Also the home/screach/back button on the bottom of the screen are not displaying. The first time I did this which was 3 weeks ago I did not have this problem. I reverted back to stock and erased my rom-slot1. So I want to go back to my rom-slot1 and I'm having these issues. Does anyone know why?

Thanks for your great job
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] CmdrCrichton:
When you activated rom slot 1 and registered there it deregisters the stock rom. If you switch back to stock and register it again it will do the same to rom slot 1. As for the apps in the carousel they only appear there when used. It's kind of like a big recent apps screen.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Yeah, not quite what I meant. I have no intention or interest in a rom that removes any of the Amazon stuff. I am only talking about a stock Amazon rom with the addition of Google apps & no need for Safesstrap. The only reason really for this is for folks that have 64Gb HDX devices & use Amazon Prime. People that do not want AOSP & don't want to limit themselves to only downloading one or two prime videos. Safestrap allows you to have all of your storage pool, i.e., /sdcard, but Amazon Videos & lending library books are subject to the loop back partition limits. Which means, you can sideload all the docs & pics & movies you want, but you are limited when it comes to Prime Video & ebooks. For me, the Nexus 7 is my AOSP device & the Kindle is my entertainment device. As a Prime member, the last thing I want is to lose the ability to utilize services I pay for, which is unavoidable with AOSP.

[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] - I know you are a very busy man, but if you get a chance in the near future, several of us with 64Gb devices would love to see the ability to partition the System to 2Gb (for large backups that include both Google & Amazon Apps) & maybe even up to 6 or 8Gb for the Data partition, since a lot of us are using both Google & Amazon, so those updates + our personal user apps = not enough memory.

I looked at trying to adjust it myself, but it appears to be hardcoded in the recovery, since I was unable to find any relevant config or xml files.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gatorguy:
I'd love to keep the Amazon stuff and be able to add Google apps without Safestrap. I don't care to have any other features on this particular tablet. Like you said, the Kindle is the entertainment device, but it'd be nice to have the Play store as well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] rootcid:
Being new to safestrap (and somewhat drunk) i flashed this directly over my original rom, not having created a slot. I did back it up before flashing. Seems to be working relatively well nevertheless, thanks for this.

Does this mean that all i need to do to get back to stock is restore the backup? Then create a slot, restore again and boot to it?

Any wisdom would be much appreciated...

New Safestrap v3.72 is up!

DOWNLOADS:

CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE USING THE KINDLE FIRE HDX 8.9" (APOLLO)

LATEST FILE: Safestrap-Apollo-3.72.apk

Mirror 1: Goo.im Download

Mirror 2: Crackflasher Download

CHANGELOG:

[v3.72]TWRP 2.7.0.0 update. *** This includes a bugfix for backup time showing correctly ***

[v3.72]Raised /data partition size to 16gb

[v3.72]Swapped "Reboot" -> "Download" mode to "Reboot" -> "Bootloader" (places you in fastboot mode) *** However, I couldn't get fastboot to recognize. So it might be currently useless. ***

WHEN UPGRADING SAFESTRAP: DO NOT STAY IN THE STOCK ROM LONGER THAN NECESSARY. AMAZON WILL UPDATE YOUR DEVICE.

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

Push the APK up to your sdcard.

Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.

Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button

Open an "explorer" of some sort (ESFileExplorer, etc)

Browse to where you pushed the APK

Click on it and install like normal

Once installed, open the APK

Grant SU access

Use the "Install Recovery" button

All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using

NOTE: As a "short-cut" you can install the APK via adb (if for instance you don't want to take the time to load a FileExplorer onto the stock ROM):

<cd to the directory on your PC where the Safestrap APK is located>

adb install Safestrap-Apollo-3.72.apk

Hi Hashcode,

I am having a couple of issues when trying to restore partitions.

Is it ok to restore a backup of smaller sized partition into a bigger sized one? I am assuming it is.

If so, when I try to restore the Data partition into newly created slots it just crashes the restore process and it "locks" twrp going back to the home screen.

BTW my device is an Apollo KIFAPWI 64gb storage.

I am not a super advanced user but can follow instructions, so if you can help me and want to guide me towards troubleshooting them, just let me know.

Thanks!!

resetting selinux contexts at boot time . . .

On a "standard" lnux build, you can force the OS to parse through the entire filesystem tree & relabel all selinux contexts by creating the following file:

# touch /.autorelabel

Might very well have to have root to create that file, so may not be an option here . . .

The real issue is that I probably built the recovery with SELINUX enabled, where the kernel we use doesn't support it at all.

So, I'll probably need to do another release to fix that error. We shouldn't be looking for any contexts.

I have a weird issue, I can't really understand ...

I received a HDX 8.9" today and made all the necessary changes to install Gapps. Everything was fine, I had a proper installation of Amazon's Stock Rom in Slot1. Unfortunately during the installation process of Gapps there were a few problems, so I decided to go back and start all over again. So I deleted Slot1, created it again, went to restore, etc.

My issue now is that as soon as I restore the screen goes black, turns on, gets black again and that's it. It does not flash anything ...

I already made a factory reset and reinstalled SS, but unfortunately nothing helped. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Reckerr:
Since it's new, try not restoring. But Creating a new rom slot then flashing the clean Amazon rom zip to the rom slot freshly. Maybe that backup of the rom slot isnt good. Worth a try.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
I have a 32GB HDX 7 with dual-setup (runs both Google Play and Amazon Play store just fine) on slot 2. But it has the old 4 GB data partition, and it was on the older 3.70. I wanted a larger data partition as I have a large game (RR3) plus some Coursera videos that's taking up a bit of space, and if I want another large game (like Asphalt 8 or Walking Dead) it won't fit or I get bazillion warnings about out of space.

So I booted to Stock (fortunately I remembered to place it in airplane mode before I shut it off last, so it cannot self-upgrade) and upgraded to 3.72 without incident. Boots to 3.72 bootstrap fine.

Then I made a backup of my existing setup (slot 2), which I know works, to a unique name. Then erased slot 1 (a partial Gapps setup I no longer need) recreated it with a 5GB data partition, and restored the backup I just did to that slot.

When I booted from slot 1, I got a BLANK launcher... and NO APPS other than the default, and was prompted to setup the Google account and all that. (Huh?)

Thinking I restored the wrong backup, I went ahead and did it AGAIN, making a fresh backup, using the current date and time from slot 2, then erased slot 1, recreated it at 5 GB data, then restored from this backup, which I *know* is correct. Got the SAME result.

Apparently you can't restore the backup if you have different data partition sizes? Or is this more of a "you can't put slot 2 into slot 1" type problem?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Wrw311:
I ran into the same situation and got it to work. For some reason the normal restore wouldn't restore data. So after restoring, I did an advanced restore to restore just the data. And it worked out fine. Give that a shot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
That actually makes sense! All the apps that are still there are system apps! Apparently when the data partition got restored into a different sized partition the TOC was not written properly or something like that, huh?

After using my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 WiFi for a while now a friend asked me to help him to set up his Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 LTE the same way. Both have 64gb.

On the left the new one | On the right my old one

Altough [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] said that the size of the System Partion is locked, every time I create a new slot on the LTE version it is around 100mb smaller than the partition on my Wifi version. Unfortunately this causes, that I can't install all Gapps into the System directory. I need those extra 100mb, it's ridiculous! Does anyone know what could cause this issue and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
Hmmm... You may need to nuke some Amazon bloatware.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] f2:
This would be kind of a solution, yeah ....

Although I would prefer to have a clean installation like on the Wifi version with some extra space left! :-/

//edit: Even deleting some Amazon apps did not seem to help?! SS shows that I have 45mb free space now, but if I try to copy some of the Gapps APKs with ES File explorer I get a 'Permission denied' error. Very weird ...

//edit 2: ... after trying it 10 times it suddenly worked. I could install all the Gapps I needed. But the question still is, why the System Partition sizes are different between the LTE and the Wifi version.

As a heads up (I'll add this to the OP), I hit an odd issue yesterday after a reboot on my HDX 7".

I'm using [MENTION=503571]Cpasjuste[/MENTION]'s google services ROM on a rom slot. And when I went to enable wifi, the device crash/rebooted. I tried it again and it crashed/rebooted again on me.

I ended up needing to enable bluetooth prior to enabling wifi for it to work without crashing the device.

Hope this helps anyone who ends up in the same situation.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
This appears to happen whenever you reboot the device with WiFi turned off. I've never tried turning Bluetooth on before enabling, but Bluetooth could have very well been on anyway. Another way that has worked for people is immediately exiting out of the settings as fast as you can after hitting the enable button for the WiFi. I've had luck with deleting WiFi config files in the past, but couldn't get that method to work every time. Again, not sure why it happens, but the cause is by booting it up with WiFi turned off.

There is an issue that causes the memory available to not refresh correctly. You have to reboot to get the device to see the space made available, even tho settings/storage can be refreshed, the device does not recognize the free space until a boot occurs. May be a loopback partition limitation, may be an issue with TWRP base. IDK.

Hi guys,

In an effort to get the source code posted for 13/14.3.2.3.2, I spend well over an hour in online chat sessions, on-hold, and talking with Amazon reps today. About 5-6 transfers in all.

The matter was eventually passed off to the internal tech department which told the rep I was speaking with on the phone, "source code wasn't ready".

I told the rep that the tech department still needed to put it up ASAP for several reasons:

- GPL complaiance. It's there for a reason and must be followed.

- (more importantly) If any HDX user wanted to check the source code before taking the update... They literally can't use the Kindle till the source is posted because Amazon force installs the update (on normal Amazon users). Unlike other devices where updates pop up a box asking the user if they want to take it.

Anyway, there's no "forcing" Amazon to do anything. The rep did say that she would be checking back every few hours to see how this issue would be resolved and she would call me when she had a better answer.

So: Amazon Support rep: A+, Amazon Tech department responsible for posting source: F
