Sadly this appears to be a generic response; I have seen simular postings elsewhere. That's no ding against Amazon front line reps who do a great job promptly responding to customer inquiries. But in the end it's a business decission - granting access to Google Play would be a huge set back for Amazon IMO. Of late I have noticed an increase in the number of apps and their currency in the Amazon store but it still lags far behind Google. As for mapping apps, most Kindle varients lack a GPS chip so navigation would be approximate at best. This would highlight a hardware limitation which Amazon is unlikely to do.

I agree with most your other comments. After sideloading a few key apps I use my HDX far more than my other Android devices.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] icedtrip:
Ever heard of an impulse purchase? Normally I am a research king before buying anything, but I too did what the OP did. For me, the HDX went on sale with an additional 10% off for prime customers, so I impulse bought it simply assuming it would be able to be rooted to the point where I could install CM or something else. I even understood that it ran a very customized version of Android, but what I didn't know was that Gapps were not supported. Also, I can't speak for the OP, but I didn't even know about the xda-forums until after my purchase.

So yes, I too was miffed with my "impulse purchase" with an assumption that I wouldn't be locked out of the Play Store, and I wouldn't be surprised by the number of people that are in the same boat as we are....so give the OP a break and get off your high horse.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
Do you think it's possible to pressure them into unlocking the device for us?

What I'm saying is this, we can tell them the demand for the tablet would jump (they'll make more money) if there was a setting to fully unlock it but you 100% void your software warranty (including Mayday) permanently and it reports that to Amazon. It's not like we'll be telling them a lie because the amount of people asking "is xxxx rooted yet" is kinda high and not to mention the amount of traffic reviews get. Fire OS should push an update for this. They say "lack of apps" and "it's not living up" so then allow this option.

Hell just the fact that they do something like this will spread through these threads/the bigger android community and gain Amazon more attention = more money for their pockets. I really hope we can push this point so everyone can be happy in the end. This idea needs to be flooded to 5-10 higher ups working on the tablets to make a impact. Let us stop these petty cat and mouse rooting games.

They are sad about sales, Amazon this can be a big boost to turn a greater profit! Plus it will solidify a group that will bolster your market share, the people looking for a high build quality android tablet to face off against the Apple powerhouse the Android tablet top dogs. I promise you'll not regret this. Even better yet, you'll be providing slightly less support.

How can this go wrong? You think Google will get a little grumpy? Get outa here Amazon, there is a phrase for that,

keep you friends close but your enemies closer

. AMAZON your not the next Google, Google isn't even the final Google, if that makes any sense. Amz you

sell

quality, DELIVER! Your not meant to pan handle ads. That's Google's main job.

Think Amazon, think!

We should really look into this.

Ooh...so the tips they put on Google to install Google play with the services doesn't work on hdx?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] txgranny:
don't hate me

I gotta say... I love Amazon. I've been a "Prime" customer from the start. I even have product subscriptions that arrive whenever I choose (and they're always reliable). The "Free Shipping" option is a perk I haven't found anywhere else. I had the opportunity to get an HDX 8.9 for a great price and I jumped on it because of the specs. It's an amazing device with a gorgeous display, however I am also a Google Play store fan and am hoping root will come soon so I can really utilize the HDX's full potential. Amazon is a business, and as such is doing what they think is most profitable... can't blame them for that. I have confidence in the amazing talent on XDA and know they'll come through with the tools to allow us to get the most from our HDX's.

Mine is named GoogleDialer.apk. The permissions have to be -rw-r--r-- and you have to reboot before it will work. If you don't see the new phone icon after a reboot you can use this workaround.

Where can i find the best buy?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] rgolnazarian:
Awww man,...I wish i could flash this, but I'm on the exynos =(
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] esgie:
Sorry pal, Qualcomm only, not even a chance to run this same way as the devices (and mostly important: provided software, ie. system structure) DIFFER A LOT between themselves.

Update 1: uploaded fix #1 which is resolving some trivial issues found in initial version; sorry for that, now we can say that every described feature has been included ;) hope for some feedback... thank you...

Update 2: FIX FOR NOT WORKING SCREEN MIRRORING CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE:

http://www67.zippyshare.com/v/25492738/file.html

I have personally modified a library that is being used by screen mirroring feature, which forces video encryption using keys from stock kernel, and which prevents to run mirroring at all . This is an issue of any modified kernel, on any Samsung device. Attached library fixes this, by disabling HDCP at all. It has been reported that the library resolves the issue for any Qualcomm based Samsung device running 4.4.2 KitKat and for any custom kernel. It will NOT work for Exynos devices...

Installation:

- download attached libwfdsm.so file

- overwrite genuine one in/system/vendor/lib (important! NOT /system/lib!!!!)

- chmod 644 libwfdsm.so ||| chown 0.0 libwfdsm.so ||| restorecon -R /system/vendor/lib

- mirroring will work again after reboot!!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] cavkic:
YAY!

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. You made ma a very happy man with this. I'll flash this as soon as I get home from work. Can't wait to try it out, the stock kernel is giving me SOD and frozen wifi issues sometimes.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] THEDEVIOUS1:
I was literally just about to post in the old thread with bad news about the modified "libwfdsm.so" file & screen mirroring with a custom kernel...if u remember i confirmed that the file u altered would work with a custom recovery on the 8.4 lte & i just assumed that it would work with an altered boot.img as well but unfortunately thats not the case after testing the other night (unless something else is wrong with my setup). So...my question is have u changed something else since then to allow it to work again & have u personally tested this yourself?

sorry to hijack the thread...didnt know if i should pm or post in the older thread
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] esgie:
No problem, anyway, thanks for pointing the issue out! This may be an important information for mirroring users!

Since then I didn't change anything, yet. Really, I am also not sure if I have tested it with modified kernel, as the one posted here is the first kernel for P905 at all, and it's not even "fully" customized, as the kernel binary base was left unchanged.

So, I'd like to be sure: you are saying that modded lib:

- fixed the problem for custom recovery, but...

- ...didn't fix it for custom kernel

right?

I was looking for a solution to persistent enforcing mode since some time, so I was flashing test boot.imgs from time to time, then reverting to stock again, meanwhile I created above lib, I can't really be sure about if it is working when both bootimg and kernel are customized (this would also be an opposite to previous Sammy's Android releases, where a single fix was solving all the issues related to customizations of both kernel and recovery!).

We also have to be aware that the issues may not be a result of flashing different kernel at all, but a result of the changes themselves, ie. disabled knox, disabled encryption of i-dont-really-know-what, etc, etc.

And the most important thing! Since I have heard of AllShareCast/Screen Mirroring for the first time (it probably appeared for the first time in S3/Note2/Note10.1), it always required resetting the flash counter - which could be viewed in download mode and which is NOT the same as Knox flag - to ZERO and that requirement AFAIR remained totally independent from the requirement of having stock boot/kernel (or lib patch). Have you checked the counter state? Did you reset it to zero again using Chainfire's Triangle Away after flashing non-stock kernel (which, obviously, TRIPPED the counter)? Can you check if it is working? Note that at least on my P905, Triangle Away still works flawlessly and resets the counter without any problems and even without a need of reboot!

Please check above info and try if the issue is fixed after running Triangle Away. I am leaving for a short business trip soon, so I'll perform my own tests with AllShare cast until next of the week, however, neither today nor tomorrow...

Installed the patch and mirroring connects to the dongle, but the TV screen turns just black.

The dongle works perfect with HTC One M8, it must be a softwareproblem?

Will this work on the P905V (Verizon Variant)? I need to downgrade the permissions in my Security in order to use Towelroot, because they're set to Medium and I believe that prevents Towelroot to work properly. Most of the other Note 12.2 variants have been rooted....except the Verizon version.

Ever since I rooted my tablet it goes on random reboot kicks. I want to start over. Also TWRP will not stick when I try to flash it.

I have many issues which I'm currently posing in their appropriate forums. It would be nice to wipe to a rooted stock.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] esgie:
Guys!

I have probably found another solution for non-working Screen Mirroring / AllShare Cast when custom kernel is flashed (again, LTE devices only).

No need of modded lib

Seems that the only thing we need is to

1) run Terminal Emulator and type:

su -c setprop wlan.wfd.hdcp disable

(will work immediately; won't stick between reboots!), OR...

2) edit /system/build.prop file with any root file manager/text editor and add a line (no matter where):

wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable

(will work only after reboot; will stick between reboots).

Try this using kernel from op ;) waiting for feedback!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] fokus:
Thanks. The Galaxy is connecting to theTV, but the screen is only turning black - no Display...

Any idea?

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] ColBill:
I tried both methods and still get no devices found when I turn on screen mirroring.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] esgie:
Hm.

This is weird, as the problems with allshare cast + custom kernels is not that "no devices are found" but that devices ARE found without any problem but the connection process fails after a few secs. This solution may help with the issue i described, but it will surely not solve the problem with no peers detected at all.

No peers detected = problems with wifi direct (are you able to send files between wifi direct between devices?)

Can you tell me what is your exact device config? And are you using allsharecast dongle or other third party hardware?

[MENTION=651736]fokus[/MENTION]

Only one: also reset flash counter with Triangle Away and then try again. And make sure you spell the value in the command as "disable" not "disabled" - it's tricky and one can miss it...

Well, there are two additional things to add.

Guys, make sure you have updated Samsung's ScreenMirroring firmware update app to the latest version. And check out the samsung mirroring fix app in google play, which solves some issues for various devices (dunno which ones exactly as i have never been in need of using it).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] Marshall1975:
The fix half worked for me lol. The tablet now connects fine to the Netgear PTV3000 but all I get is black screen. Step in the right direction though as at least it connects now. Just need to get a picture to show lol.

SM-t705

I want to go with 2) but can you please describe what you mean with "will stick between reboots" ... only on 1st reboot or on every further reboot and for how Long ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] THEDEVIOUS1:
Works on exynos devices...at least the tab s anyway

i just wanted to confirm that this in fact works on exynos devices as well as it has been tested by myself personally & confirmed by a few other users in the Tab S forum....thx for your efforts in figuring this out for all of us

just to clarify...the second method will work on every further boot until u either emove the line or flash a stock odin image which will replace the entire build.prop
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] gggg:
THX, but I ran into a problem...

I tried the line at the end of /system/build.prop file but now it is stuck in the boot screen (showing Samsung Galaxy TabS SM-T705 powered by adroid). I just get out of this by booting into TWRP and using the original build.prop.

Even if I make the line a comment by adding a "#" at the beginning it will not boot. Can it be that the problem comes from my copying the file and not editing the original (permissions of the coppied file are RW RW RW) or because I renamed the original (to keep it) to "build.proporg" ?

EDIT: I is working now, after redoing it all over again. I have no idea why ist working now ....
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] THEDEVIOUS1:
Yep...That's the problem. The permissions MUST be changed back to the original 0644 (rw-r--r--) or it won't boot...why don't u just flash my SuperSamsung V2 rom which had the fix already baked in?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] gggg:
THX, but I am still on my way from a noob to an "experienced noob" ;) so it will take a while until I go the next step ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] ColBill:

There's a new kernel out for the P905. Can you please update it. Much Appreciated!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] rodpp:
Thank you for sharing your work!

I am a noob using your kernel but it seems (to me as a noob!) that it is not "fully" Permissive. Some observations:

1- After a reboot the Kernel in System Properties is Permissive and the Terminal return to the getenforce command is Permissive too. But if I run the command "setenforce 0" the getenforce command return Enforced forever, mo matter what I do.

2- If I try to start a server using the Servers Ultimate Pro, for example PHP+lighthttp, I get a Permission denied when the app try to start PHP or lighthttp. After changing the "permission" of PHP, lighthttp and busybox using a command like:

chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /data/data/com.icecoldapps.serversultimate.packc/php/php

the servers starts ok.

3- When trying to run a Linux image using the Linuxonandroid (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/) the script return access denied. But running the scripts commands direct in the terminal, it runs without problems.

If someone could explain why these permissions errors are occurring (and how to fix) I appreciate it.

Regards,

Rodrigo.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] rodpp:
I compiled the kernel to enable the setenforce command and now all this problems are fixed after "setenforce 0".

So it really seems that there was some selinux working, although the getenforce command was returning "Permissive".
