[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokemaster787:
Hate to ask another question so soon after asking another, but I'm having issues here... I recently downloaded a game onto my phone which I need to move to my PC. I do not have a home internet connection which is why I downloaded it onto my phone. The issue is, when I connect it the file simply isn't there on the PC. Is there anyway to change it so this file appears? (Rooted Jellybean) (Downloaded with advanced download manager, not stock downloader so it isn't appearing) Thank you

EDIT: Fixed it. The solution was a restart and now all of the missing files are there.

I've been using Poweramp for years. Now I switched to Walkman because of the great sound enhancement. What I really really miss is the title counter when playing whole albums. Is there any chance to get this feature? Maybe an Xposed module?

I have a &" but it's good to see some progress after a bit of stagnation.

Good work. You people must have some nice skills...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
hey buddy... just wondering if there was any update to your progress. were eagerly awaiting to see whats up with the camera. also, have you found any other bugs in the past week? thanks for your dedication!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I am working on version 1.2 at the moment (time permitting).

In the next release I am hoping to include the following:

1. Working Camera

Have made significant progress - can now get an image in my test app - so now looking to build a version of the AOSP camera from source.

2. Fix for the widget picker (done).

3. Working Kindle Reader App (tbd).

4. Updated WiFi driver (done).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
Sounds excellent ! Thanks for all of ur time and look forward to your release. All the hate on our kindle and it's unwarranted. With a rooted kindle and gapps installed properly this is a very hefty machine.

Is there a way to install and run the Amazon App Store with this build?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jeryll:
Older app store working

This older version works with this build...

https://mega.co.nz/#!xwJBFQBL!0oyBAMyLxZsJFiZ17ijzpyaK8VpnyvHEDy0ZJZTfm8c

but I tested the newest one downloaded from amazon too, and that versions installs, but is not working (just open and close)

so:

appstore release-9.0003.638.OC_639000310 - not working

appstore release-5.0000.147.OC_635000010 - working

maybe other newer (but not latest) version works too

hope this help you

Just a quick update on what's going on:

1. Working Camera

Can now take pictures with the Front and Rear cameras successfully...

1.1 Video Recording (under investigation).

However the video recording mode isn't working properly for the front camera (the picture is stretched in the Y axis) and not working at all for the rear camera (force closes).

2. Fix for the widget picker (done).

3. Working Kindle Reader App (done - interim fix is by installing an older version of Amazon Reader App - Link will be provided with the new release - I still intend on looking into why amazon apps are force closing on the HDX devices).

4. Updated WiFi driver (done).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
We anxiously await ur Rom. U need a tester? I know it's bad manners to ask for a release date but when do you think you'll release 1.2? Sorry for asking but we're all anxious and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
What kind of changes are you seeing in the WiFi? More stable? I know that others (myself included) have had WiFi issues off and on, so I was curious what all this might have changed/made better. I know there is a bug that causes a crash whenever you enable WiFi after the device has been booted with WiFi disabled. Do you know if this fixes that bug? Also, is this something that could be updated through an apk for us 7" HDX owners?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
In my tests here I have a DLINK DIR-655 router, was constantly getting dropouts/disconnects in WIFI connection and have not seen any problems with the new driver. So at least for me on my hdx 8.9" device it's rock solid so far.

Although I cannot explicitly say whether the new driver fixes the wifi reboot bug. I can confirm that whilst I have been testing the new driver this problem doesn't exist for me. It used to happen when I had the stock rom. I have been testing this since I did the first release of Apollo Gapps.

It's not something that can be packaged up as an apk, but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to create a flashable zip package for TWRP :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Unfortunately I can't give you a date, this is the first time I have done any real android ROM development so please bear with me.

Amazon's stock ROM drove me to the point of insanity which in turn drove me to do something about it. I'm very glad I did as I now have a usable tablet which is a lot more functional.

It may take a bit of time but hopefully worth the wait.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
Sijce u ditched a lot of the amazon bloat.... are u seeing any performance gains???
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I haven't benchmarked anything so I don't know. However the user experience is far better for me on Apollo Gapps than with Amazon's stock rom :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
A flashable zip would be nice when you can get around to it. I'll have no problem testing it out on my 7" HDX. My WiFi at home has no problems, but I have the constant drop and reconnect issue with my hotspot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I've fixed the video preview on the front camera.

Will try to tackle the back camera video force closing.

If this one looks like it will drag on the I'll do an interim release.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
keyboard?

Hey. Can u extract the amazon keyboard from the stock Rom and create An apk or flashable zip with it? I'm not digging the aosp key board on our 8.9". It seems to take up way more screen real estate and I actually like the look and feel of the amazon one. It has Swype and a better auto correct. Thanks!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
The stock amazon keyboard will not work in this ROM due to it's dependancy on missing libraries etc.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I am going to release version 1.2 of Apollo Gapps. I'll update the First post to reflect changes and issues remaining. It might take a while because my broadband connection is crap.

While I am doing this the original download link will not be available.

Is there a way to install this rom with out a backup? When I try to install it from Fresh I can't get passed the language screen. So I do as that link says in the op and install the rom and then back up but I have many problems that I think would be alleviated with a fresh start.

Also, how did u change the width of the stock keyboard. I ask BC I'd like to change the width of the swift key keyboard. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
You need to use a backup of your stock /data partition and for the moment definitely have to install following the instructions hightlighted on post #1, if you have problems with Safestrap follow the link shown on the 4th bullet point in post #1.

If you still have problems I will try to help.

For the keyboard I am working with 4.2.2 JDQ39 of the aosp source code. I modified the source code and rebuilt the keyboard app.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
Thanks for your swift reply. I'll try a backup of a stock Rom with no applications or anything installed on it and see if that works.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I had a look at the system administrators settings, it seems the reason it's failing is there are function(s) that are called in the aosp settings app that are not available in amazon's runtime. This is very difficult to work around not having the source code for amazon's libraries.

In parallel to Apollo Gapps I have been working on building a completely AOSP ROM from source which should fix these issues. Will keep everyone posted when things start to progress a bit more.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] plasticarmyman:
sucessfully rolled back and flashed this....

thank you for this ROM..finally my HDX is a full Android tablet :D

I liked it before, now i effing love it.

Well, I rather have a clean AOSP ROM on my kindle too, and I can live pretty well with Apollo Gaps 1.2 for now, so thank you again for everything you did so far. Will wait patiently for any further development here...

I know on the G2 (Snapdragon 800 just like this) they have kernel dev's and ROM dev's that grab drivers and libraries from the Nexus 5 and have them working perfectly well on the G2. Perhaps the same can be done here since the chipset is the same one as well?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
That's a good idea, I'll take a look into that...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
I believe [MENTION=503571]Cpasjuste[/MENTION] used the Nexus 5 as his base for the aosp-4.2.2-thor-0 ROM, but ran into issues with video and audio playback. His thor-1 ROM I believe fixed these issues, but caused many other issues making it unusable. That's when he switched attention to his Thor Gapps ROM. I preferred the AOSP ROM, but without video/audio, it made my HDX a pointless device. Hopefully you will have more luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Thanks plasticarmyman, its great to give something back to the community and glad your loving it :laugh:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Thanks for the info, very much appreciated. Across the web I have found lots of msm8974 resources... So I will start putting the puzzle together.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
I think the main problem was that no other snapdragon 800 devices share the same (old) android version as us (4.2.2) so its hard to get binary/modules working on our kernel.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EniGmA1987:
The LG G2 does. It has kernel source and ROM source for 4.2.2 version, however it is the LG stock ROM for the G2 that is that version so it may not be compatible in certain ways.

I also know though that people now recently have fully working MIUI based on 4.2.2 for the G2 (same Snap 800 chipset as this HDX) that uses a fully working CM10.1 source, so you should be able to take that kernel and ROM stuff and bring it over here to this tablet.

If you need help to developing this rom let me know. I do have experience in android but I am not a pro. for the same reason I am sick of fireos.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] CrashThump:
As soon as my Kindle booted in this ROM, I've received notifications, that a lot of google apps couln't be updated, this is not very good.

The prerequisite for SafeStrap is root and "SuperSU" installed. Why do you need then to include "SuperSU" into your ROM?

Also I've noticed that the ROM equipped with Kindle menu bar and panel which is not the best choice. [MENTION=503571]Cpasjuste[/MENTION] has the same in his Thor ROM 2 but the panels are nice in Thor ROM 0.

After that I've installed Google Experience Launcher 0.10.1.920880 and installation of wallpapers / placing of the icons doesn't work with it.

Camera doesn't launch with Origami case.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Did you downgrade back to amazon stock 14.3.1.0 before installing Apollo Gapps?

Apollo Gapps whilst not perfect is very solid and stable.

Try downgrading, then follow the instructions in the OP.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] CrashThump:
Of course I did. Seems like SafeStrap doesn't support later builds.

Have I found anything unexpected or these are known bugs?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Wallpapers and icon placement seem to work as does playstore/google app updates. The origami case issue i'm not sure about because i do not own one.

I haven't used the google experience launcher so cannot comment.

I use apex launcher and apart from the rotation bug all seems good.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] frc3260:
I was completely aware of the risk when I started, if I was afraid of the consequences I wouldn't have tried it in the first place.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] CrashThump:
I meant that wallpapers and icons placement doesn't work only in GEL. Same was not working if installed with fixed framework (early birds) or xposed framework (latest solution) with gapps on stock firmware and I can't find anyone with similar issues. Seems like this issue is device-specific and most Kindle HDX users haven't try GEL.

Also maybe it's my fault but I don't understand how to switch off the AOSP keyboard in place of Google Keyboard.

I forgot to mention about notifications of failed updates that manual update request fixes this, I hope, forever, but anyway I believe that there should not be any errors.

The most irritating for me is the original Kindle system bars (status bar and notification bar). They looks alien and often it's behavior is wrong, for example with Google Keyboard: Amazon navigation bar just overlaps the keyboard! Do you have any plans to change them to AOSP?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] matt101:
Rollback Successful - THx for the help:fingers-crossed:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Hi crashthump,

I completely agree with you about the amazon navbar. I am working on a new Rom built from source.

On the issues you are having with updates. There might be something in your /data partition causing this and other problems. Maybe it would be worth trying to wipe /data or factory reset on amazon stock, let it run up and initialise the device then backup /data with safestrap and restore to Rom slot. That way you should have a clean /data partition.

Unfortunately because of the amazon navbar if you use any other keyboard than the included one, then the navbar will obscure the right hand side of the keyboard.

Haven't got time to look at the gel launcher as in my spare time I am working on the aosp Rom.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Well the problem is you can't "bring" this kernel to our device as we can't boot other kernel. We have to get all working with the amazon kernel which is not the case on the G2 (and why a cm port should be easy on G2).

That's said I would say its far from impossible, and latest update seems to have an updated video kernel driver which could be useful, but it can be a lot tricky and you should have a lot of spare time :)

I have good faith tough as now I'm not the only one to play with this device :)

I have discounted the use of binaries from other devices, it's just not possible until we have an unlocked bootloader.

I am wondering, the latest source code drop from amazon we have is 14.3.2.1 so I am wondering if I should move from 14.3.1.0 -> 14.3.2.1 and base future development on this?

I only have one HDX so ideally do not want to lose use of Gapps 1.2, has anyone tried running Gapps against 14.3.2.1?

I have the new aosp ROM booting but only get's to the bootanimation stage, but thought better try and find out if it's worth upgrading 14.3.1.0 -> 14.3.2.1 before continuing?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
No it's not worth upgrading until with have a working safestrap, but you maybe shouldn't spent too much time on 14.3.1.0 either. (I'm in the same situation, my only android device right now is the hdx )

Quick update on the AOSP ROM I'm building from source...

Good news, the build of 4.2.2 is now booting successfully. I have managed to create a separate gapps package.

Although building from source has cleaned up a lot of the issues from the Apollo Gapps 1.2. There are now numerous fixes required to make it stable enough for release so will keep you posted.

I currently have my KFHDX 8.9 on fw v14.3.2.3.2... I had to use Safestrap v 3.75B02 (yesterday's build) to be able to succesfully install it and create a rom-slot... But after following the instructions and installing gapps 1.2, (either with or without flashing the stock DATA partition on it and also wiping dalvik/cache), after rebooting to gapps, the screen just stays black... After waiting a while to shut it down, when I press the power button to force a shutdown I even hear the original fireos sound of the power off dialog coming up (even though the screen is black)... I hope this will be fixed on your next gapps release? Thx!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Apollo Gapps relies on the the kernel from the 14.3.1.0 firmware and so would not expect it to run on later versions. I will release a build against the latest 14.3.2.4.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kufor:
I have exactly the same FW and behaviour.

New ROM slot created, DATA partition restored, ROM 1.2 installed, rebooted -> black screen.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Hi kufor,

The reason for this behaviour is normal and understood as described in the previous post #61. I will rebase the Apollo Gapps ROM on the latest update and all will be good.

This rebase will still work for the people on the original OS, 14.3.1?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Hi holeshot77,

no it will most likely not work. The best advice is if you are on 14.3.1.0 and using Apollo Gapps then don't upgrade for now.

The new version of Apollo Gapps will likely not have any features over and above version 1.2 - if that changes will let you know.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update

I am working on Apollo Gapps 1.3. It will be based on 14.3.2.4.

I should be able to get it released sometime in the coming week.

The only new feature in the ROM will be an aosp swype keyboard.

After the release of the ROM I will make a flashable .zip file for the swype keyboard. Users of Apollo Gapps 1.2 can use this to obtain the swype feature without having to upgrade the entire system.

This flashable zip should also work with Thor Gapps ROM too.

[MENTION=503571]Cpasjuste[/MENTION] - If it's ok with you I can send you a copy of the swype update to test when it's ready?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] rgonzruiz:
Thanks a lot... One question... I'm still at 14.3.2.3.2... Will I need to update to 14.3.2.4 before flashing your new release?
