WHat about 5.0 lollipop? will this be supported?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] cdub50:


The HDX's do not even have the lollipop source yet so at best for now it would be KitKat provided someone can find a new root method.

Do not touch stock slot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Its fine to flash in stock. I have run the ROM in stock from when I first had it running :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Fallingwater:
Why not? If one has no use for FireOS it's perfectly fine to wipe everything and install this. I myself have NexusROM in stock and my tablet runs fine. No space wasted to keep an OS I'll never use anyway.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] flintston314:
Great rom! Just installed it and set it up, working good so far.

There are some minor things that would be nice though - something like Paranoid had with the goddamn nvagiation bar on the side /vertical) instead of on the bottom...its wasting space in 4.2.2.

And it´s somehow sad that the Kindle App is gone - would have been nice to download Prime content....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
There's a working kindle app on the first post of this thread. As for nav bar, check out Phab7 on the play store.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] flintston314:
I already use Phab7....its Ok, but not perfect. It changes phablet to phone mode, so also the notification area will behave like on the phone, this is rather annoying. Paradroid uses something else...but well, will have to live with it. Still better than the goddamn bar on the bottom.

The Kindle map in the first post is for reading books if I understand correctly. I would like to have the kindle app - the one that Fire OS uses per default as launcher. If you just root stock and install another launcher, you can launch that thing without a problem....maybe its called differently, I though it was called Kindle.

It´s the one where you can view apps, movies, etc.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
Might as well just use FireOS with Google apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
OK....you're referring to the carousal launcher FireOS uses. Not sure what it's called either, but you'll only get that with FireOS, or something based off the FireOS (Gapps ROM).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] flintston314:

There are many tools that can do this — GravityBox and XBlast Tools (both need Xposed) to name some off the top of my head.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] flintston314:
Display Orientation seems to be a problem, I have quite a few apps tht have this problem. No idea if this is a problem with the rom or with the kindle itself.

Another thing, automatic brightness does not seem to work either. Is there any fix for this?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Auto brightness doesn't work and there isn't a fix yet because I haven't had time to look it. Install Lux from the playstore - this seems to work fine.

Display orientation, what problems are you seeing exactly?

To prevent games rotating the upside down, lock your display rotation before launching it. Same may apply for some apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] flintston314:
Thanks. Orientation seems to be a problem with some apps, however i did not test if they work on FireOs, so could be a general problem with the Hardware. Orientation lock fixes this so no big thing

Auto brightness not working however is quite a problem. Specially if you use the tablet during darkness, annoying like hell to change brightness all the time so a fix would be highly appreciated.

But awesome Rom!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] rev0l:
Thank You for this ROM!

Just want to let you know:

Ive got some problems to add an exchange account.

It always crashs the E-Mail.apk .

Ive replaced the E-Mail.apk & Exchange.apk with 6.2 ones.

I used this download: http://downloads.netmediaeurope.de/75012/google-e-mail-mit-exchange-fuer-android

Now its working fine for me
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] mucha0815:
Thanks, gravitybox works.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Fallingwater:
The navigation bar on the side screws with full!screen and causes hangs. At least it does in FireOS. Speaking of full!screen, find it here - I use it all the time and it's wonderful to get the full screen space, plus it's easy to enable and disable at will.

Weighing in on the battery thing: I've installed Greenify and set everything I don't strictly need to hibernate. This has dropped power consumption in standby; if I leave it sleeping during the night it goes down by 2 or 3 percent instead of 5 or 6 as before. Still not quite as good as FireOS, but it'll do for the time being.

Ggow, I've sent a few bucks your way - you more than deserve them for being the one person who's made the HDX actually worth using.

Sources?

Hi there... I would be interested in trying to build a more up-to-date version of the rom... Perhaps even CM12/Lollipop based... I have the machine-power and some time in the evenings, but i really would appreciate if you could give a short howto - how did you assemble the sources, how did you get the blobs, what did you change, where are your sources?

Thanks..

Hi ggow,

any chance that you build an internal version of nexus2.0.1_lte and i test this on my hdx 7" lte?

I am willing to update on your behalf and screenshot or logcat any dump that you need. Your current nexus 2.0.1 runs *very* fine on my hdx, but i	grieve for the lte-support :)

The Rom wont switch to deep sleep mode when gravity box is installed.

Wich Results in heavy battery drain.

Tested it with clean rom installation and full wipe.

Navigon isnt running properly under this ROM... does anyone have experience with it?

It always crashes in the main menu... ive tested version 4.7,4.8,5.2.2 and 5.2.6 - none worked :/

also can i install the HDXposed modules from this section under this rom or just in the FireOS?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
HDXposed is not required for HDX Nexus ROM.

WiFi only HDX's have no GPS tranceiver which is probably why Navigon is crashing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] sotizzle:
i have the 4G version which has a GPS sensor inside.

with this its not working... many apps :/ often it tells me it cant connect to google play store - but the play store is working fine.

I've actually been the first in line to thank him on this thread and am fully aware of protocol when it comes to Dev work. That's why I asked if there was any 'progress' instead of 'when are you going to be done'? If he said next year that would've been OK, he's been gone on vacation before and we all waited patiently like we're supposed to do when someone is doing us all a big favor. Sometimes he has run into brick walls and we've been able to help him in small areas along the way, if he ran into a problem then perhaps some of us might be able to help him. Let's not try to be self righteous over the slightest interest in his work. We're all here to help if we can.

I won't be releasing the sources for this ROM - sorry it's probably not what you wanted to hear., I also operate from a mobile broadband connection which means the chances of been able to upload 8.5gb in one piece is slim to none. This ROM source is hacked to hell to allow it to run with amazon's binaries and would not be the best example.

To get lollipop, will also involve a lot of hacking around too, I have already started investigating this.

no SD card storage

is there a reason why the "normal" Kindle storage is not mounted as SD card in the nexus ROM? I have a few GB of pictures and MP3s there, and also some free space that I would like to share with stock ROM. However, the nexus ROM does not recognize it as free space, because the path /storage/emulated/legacy does not count as SD card. So no apps that can write their data to SD card are able to store anything there.

So my question is: wouldn't it make sense to mount the remaining storage as SD card? Is it already possible to do this manually, e.g. by creating a symlink somewhere?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Hi gorthon,

In the file manager can you not browse to /sdcard?

I run Nexus ROM in stock slot. It's been a while since I have run FireOS but I remember both roms could see /sdcard.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] flintston314:

Battery Life

I have been investigating. GAPPS seems to be the cause of the High Battery Drainage problem. I have found no problem with WiFi causing excessive drain except with GAPPS installed.

I installed HDX Nexus 2.0.2 on my apollo full battery charge 7 days ago without GAPPS installed. Then I manually put some apps on that I use. With moderate usage - web browsing, games etc I still have 86% battery after 7 days.

This problem also happens on other devices like the Xperia T. I had to roll the Xperia T back to ICS to get decent battery life.

I wish I had the source code for GAPPS, but then I guess many other people are also wishing they had this too to no avail.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] taette:
Yea good point. Do you exactly know which apps are the cause?
