Hi mitochondrion, I don't know if works on the lte version or not, try it in a Safestrap slot and let me know. The ROM should work in principle but it's just whether the Radio comes up or not.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] johnwaters:
Thanks for you hard work on this, almost everything is working for me except......games.

I've tried Trials Extreme 3, Batman, a couple of car games and Hungry Shark. They all seem to crash out on opening.

Any thoughts on this?

Again, awesome work on your part, you've done everybody a huge service.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
I filed a bug report on this if you want to check it out. I have a feeling it has to do with video playback starting since I have noticed it happen in YouTube and apps that have some video or animation that starts. It always resumes, but there is a noticeable pause.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Thanks for the information and glad your liking the ROM.

I have an idea as to what's going wrong, but won't be able to take a look yet as I'm going on vacation for 2 and bit weeks.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] great job on the ROM! I played around with it a good bit last night and filed a few bug reports and will keep at it. There are a couple of other items I'll mention here as I don't see them as "bugs", but instead items that I understand why they are happening. They were just unexpected is all.

The Google Voice app and Viber app see the device as a mobile phone and expect it to work as one (GV expects a phone number associated with it whereas Viber will register it as a mobile device and kick you out of your actual mobile device). I assume the ROM is based off the Nexus 5 and this is why it is seen this way, but it makes the 2 apps unusable.

The Amazon Store app won't let me sign-in. I'm assuming this is due to the Amazon items you had to include to get everything running and the most recent version of the app may simply not work. Similar to the Kindle app.

I have also had a couple of instances of the Wi-Fi not reconnecting until I turn it off and on again. This has occurred after I haven't used the tablet for a bit and return to it. I know that there have been WiFi issues with our version of the firmware that have since been made better with newer versions, so I didn't want to file this as a bug since it may be connected to the kernel we are on.

Also, to everyone else reading....check out the bug report section for up-voting and adding your own comments to the reports that have been made. Let's help [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] out with some organization and not list bugs here in the thread unless we also file a bug report. Also read the ones that are there before reporting a dupe.

Hm, the Amazon app store is actually working perfectly fine for me. No wifi hiccups either.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
Odd...I'll give it another shot for the Amazon app store. I'll keep an eye on the WiFi item too. It's happened twice for me. Once last night after about 30 minutes of no use and again this morning when I first picked it up.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I just tried the Amazon store app again. It launches and presents me with the normal sign-in screen. I put my info in and hit the secure sign-in button. I'm then dumped to what looks like the Amazon site to sign-in again. I sign-in again with the same credentials and hit go, then the app crashes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] electrophoenix:
Yeah, that's how the newer Kindle app acts, so I can see why it might be a similar issue. For some reason, I signed it and it took a little extra time to get into my account, but now my coins and apps all show up - everything works fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] johnwaters:
I'm afraid that without my games this ROM is a no-go.

Serious effort and patience on the part of the OP though. Many thanks for what you do.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
HA! I just realized we're talking about 2 different things. "Amazon App Store" and my poorly phrased "Amazon Store app". I'm talking about the Amazon Store one that allows you to order Amazon products, not the app store. That was my poor phrasing.....sorry.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] electrophoenix:
Oh dang, I should have noticed that. In any case, that app is actually working fine for me as well. I didn't have to log in though, so I assume it only worked because I have the working Amazon Kindle app already installed and set up.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
Well, that may be something that will make it work for me. I'll install the Kindle app ggow posted to see if that will make it work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jeryll:
Well maybe somebody else figured this out, but I dont know any other way how to do this, if restore TWRP DATA over Nexus method is not working, then only thing you can do is Titanium backup in CM11 and restore in Nexus 2.0.5...

Update

I am making a new version of Nexus ROM which is based on android 4.3. The plan is to have this running without all of the old amazon binaries. I have touchscreen, audio, wifi, bluetooth and WiFi working (No amazon binaries present at all). I am hoping that this release will also support LTE variants too. This custom kernel for hdx nexus rom will also serve as a platform to boot lollipop in the very near future.

As many of you know HDX Nexus 4.2.2 is my first android project, so really appreciate everyone's patience and support with this.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
Wouldn't it make more sense to upgrade to 4.4.4?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
It was my original intention however, you may have forgotten that amazon's 4.4.2 kernel doesn't work properly on Apollo with the old bootloader we are running. But when I am finished with the kernel I am working on, it will have branches that support hopefully all android versions.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
I am hoping that this release will also support LTE variants too.

Good news. Ready to start the test. Do not forget to GPS

Update on Android 4.3

I now have the sensors working. Now finally starting to look stable. Lots of small issues now to fix up.

I have completely replaced the audio stack now.

Audio is working through the speaker, however headphones are not working regardless of what options I set in the overlay/config.xml. Will try and figure this out at a later date.

Have tested Netflix and Youtube which seem fine.

Is there any way to get wiimotes working with this rom?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update - Android 4.3

I am working on the cameras at the moment.

I have completely replaced the bluetooth libs which seem to at least be correctly scanning for devices. Will test them out and see if I can obtain connectivity to a ps3 controller and wii remote.

Tested quite a few games like Trial Extreme 3, Riptide GP2 and Virtual Pool. All silky smooth.

I also took a look at why Plague Inc isn't working and it doesn't seem to be any fault due to the ROM. The web is littered with reports about Plague Inc not working on a lot of android devices.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] andPS2:
one of the things i noticed is how slow the fire hdx is charging

with this rom and with the cm11 one as well compared to the stock rom

p.s. i remember that used to be a problem with the first kindle fire as well for a long time

until hashcode fixed it...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I have actually found the opposite: stock hdx (thor 13.3.2.6) charges faster than Nexus ROM. USB charge meter collaborates observation. Stock pulls up to 1.75A while Nexus seems capped at 1.25A. Not a huge deal as both variants charge relatively quickly given high hdx battery capacity.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update

On the issue of the power the new ROM is draining the battery really fast - have no idea why at the moment, before I went to bed the battery was full. By the morning it was empty.

After I fix this, then it should be good for release - barring no other problems during test.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] skeptic1007:
Hello,

The Amazon shopping apk is constantly crashing when logging in with the Amazon account details. I get this with HDX Nexus 2.0.2. Do you get this as well? What can I do to use this apk correctly?

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Check for the latest version of the ROM, there are now different versions depending on whether you are running a setup with or without Safestrap.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] skeptic1007:
I am with 2.0.2 Safestrap. I can go to 2.0.5, without full wipe?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
No! If you are on Safestrap, DO NOT use the 2.0.5 version as it is for TWRP. Use this version http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/rom-hdx-nexus-rom-t3024526 . It is the new branch for Safestrap, so ignore the version number. The Safestrap version 1.0.1 is the branch from his 2.0.5 version of the TWRP version.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] skeptic1007:
Excellent. Thank you.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
OK - I lied. After sensing my Nexus equipped HDX was charging faster of late I remeasured maximum current draw and found it was the same as the stock HDX (around 1.75A). Same two devices, cables and chargers. To my knowledge nothing has changed on my Nexus equipped HDX aside from adding a few non-system apps, an upgrade to 2.0.5 and the latest version of Google play services. I doubt the latter has anything to do with current regulation. I ran several tests after flashing Nexus 2.0.4 with the unit powered on and turned off. No explanation for the change but I'm not complaining!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:

I'm preparing everything for release now. Full details will be available very soon.

I have uncovered another problem, the hsic control for bluetooth and wifi doesn't seem to be working correctly.

This morning the battery had drained to half way even with "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to "Never".

Hi! Is there any way to keep Sound Virtualizer on using the loud speakers? I dont know if it is known bug but for me is only working using the headphones, thanks in advance for your help! Pd. I'm using the Dolby Digital 1.2
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
If i'm not mistaken the Sound Virtualizer is only meant to work through headphones.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] SiulGM:
Hi ggow, thanks for your reply! I'm asking because I own 2 hdx the one on stock ROM sounds with virtualized effects thru the speakers while the other using your fantastic nexus rom sounds plane using any setting.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
You just jogged my memory, which sound player are you using?

I noticed that I could not get Google Music Player to use virtualized effects, but another player like JetAudio would work fine. I never did figure out why.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] SiulGM:
I'm using apollo, maven pro, google play music and mx player and none of them use the virtualized effects unless the headphones are plugged in, I've noticed that once headphones are plugged it automatically turn the effects con in DS app. I just tried JetAudio same results.

Installed what update mate? You'll need to be more specific; if you're running TWRP and HDX Nexus 2.0.5 then yeah, no updates going to come from Amazon.

Won't be long before we're all running CM11 (kitkat) or CM12 (lollipop) with ggow and the guys blasting along! :P
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Bruder Torgen:
I am using this rom now for several weeks and I am following the threads about magicbeans , cm11 and 12. With this rom I have a super battery life time, no problems with apps, a good camera and a really stable and very fast tablet.

Although we are all keen on newer versions especially people visiting forums like this, why shall I update, what can be better than this rom?

Whatever, making nexus 205 has been a perfect Job :)

can I do miracast in this ROM ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Probably not, at least not natively.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] MinerBoy004:
If i flash this with TWRP, would I lose all my apps, also, does this support OTG too?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
As you have TWRP already you should be able to backup and restore your data partition. Most apps should be ok; might need new/different versions for amazon specific apps. No OTG support (hardware limitation). Be sure to do a complete system backup from twrp in case you have to roll back. If possible leave a copy on the device until you are sure Nexus is working.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
Yes. Be sure to use Titanium Backup or a similar app.

No.

Help please

Hi, I have a Kindle HDX 8.9 with LTE. It does not matter to me if the LTE works. I am new to this & would really appreciate if anyone can help with the 2 questions below.

1) Can I install this ROM on an LTE Kindle HDX?

2) Do you know where I can get detailed guide on how to install this ROM?

Many thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
What level of Fire OS is currently installed on your HDX? That will largely determine your options. Also, which generation is it? Gen 3 has a 2.2 GHz processor; gen 4 is 2.5 GHz. Be aware you can't just load the Nexus rom. You have to root and likely downgrade your OS. There is risk involved. Kindles are very easy to brick with limited recovery options. Lots of folks have created nifty 400 USD paperweights messing around.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gogoboss:
Hi Davey, thanks for your quick reply. It's a Gen 3, with OS 4.5.3 If it is possible to use Nexus rom, do you know where I can get a detailed how to guide?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
There are no detailed guides. You will have to read to become familiar with the process, procedures and associated risks. You could brick your device with no ability to recover. Look around the forums; lots of folks have created expensive paperweights.

General outline if you choose to proceed:

- downgrade to 3.2.8 (start here)

- root and disable OTA updates

- install Safestrap (take the time to learn about Safestrap)

- backup your stock rom

- create a new rom slot and install Nexus v1.0.1 (not v2.0.5)

I have not provided links for every step because there are no step-by-step tutorials. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the process and decide if the risk is worth the benefit. There is significant risk downgrading to 3.2.8. Forum participants are usually willing to help with specific questions if have done your homework. Sorry to sound so negative. Just want to provide fair warning before you dive in.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gogoboss:
Many thanks for all your advice Davey, I will have a read through the info you provided.

Have a good weekend :)

Can i install it on 14.3.1.0 via twrp? Still no LTE/3g?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Yes - absolutely! That is the preferred way. Make sure you create a full/complete backup of your current data, system and boot partitions from within twrp before flashing nexus (or any other rom).

You may want to consider updating the bootloader to 3.2.3; see my other response for link. Even though the risk is relatively small be sure to backup you current bootloader before flashing the update.

No explicit lte/3g support with nexus.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] maluc:
Fine, i installed Nexus, and it works perfect! Only LTE is missing....thanks a lot!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] MinerBoy004:
Is it possible to transfer apps from a backup? I installed this ROM and I tried to restore my data from my backup but when I do hdx nexus doesn't boot (stays with the spinning dots). Is it possible to transfer the apps I had? (I do notice it transfers my wallpapers, etc.)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
Use Titanium Backup or a similar app.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I realize recent focus has been on CM11/CM12 and appreciate the great progress that has been made on those roms. I toggle between Nexus 2.0.5 and CM11 (multiple devices) but still prefer the near AOSP experience of Nexus. CM has some great features but I can get most/all via a few Xposed modules with greater flexibility.

So, here's one small voice penning for a Nexus variant based on KitKat or Lollipop. I understand that probably won't happen (ggow mentioned are are many differences between JB and KK/LP) given CMxx is the right solution for most and has a greater pool of devs to help with customization. Just expressing a desire but clearly just a 'nice to have'.

As always, thanks to all who unselfishly contribute their time and talents.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I too prefer AOSP and I run this rom on my apollo with some xposed modules, that is when not in development mode.

For this rom I still would like to find a solution for miracast not working.

I have on my list to get google's aosp 4.4.4 running on our devices. I just haven't had a chance to get there yet.

And today my laptop has died, maybe I worked it too hard :)

I'm sending it off for repair this week.

i just got TWRP installed on the device and finish my backup, i wonder if i can install this rom on my as i am running THOR simcard version, would I loose the phone capabilities only?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
At the moment, you would lose phone capabilities if you installed this rom.

If there is enough demand I would consider adding LTE. I have a WiFi device so would be flying blind but should be able to get it work.

Actually when I do the kitkat version I'll make that LTE compatible, rather than try and regress all the framework changes I made for this ROM.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] masterchop:
q

So this Recovery is compatible with this Rom right?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Yes - TWRP v2.8.6.0 (and several prior versions) is fully compatible with Nexus v2.0.5. What I'm running now with absolutely no issues (thor; wifi only).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] LittleGreenSony:

Hi Guys,

I flashed this rom 2 days ago, and everything works fine appart from GPS, but I guess that is a known issue and no problem for me.

But I am wondering if there is a trick with battery saving, my device is doing nothing all night and when I wake up I am left with 53% from 100% battery.

When I check the battery summary page in the settings, I see that wlan and sleep mode take most of the CPU.

Anyone got a clue?

Thank you very much
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I use Nexus v2.0.5 as my daily driver (thor) and find battery life to be excellent both in use and on standby. I typically see decay rates of 0.1-0.2% per hour while sleeping with wifi disabled (auto-toggle via standard Jelly Bean wifi setting). That jumps to 0.5-0.6% per hour with wifi -and- push mail enabled. BTW - wifi still pops on from time to time even with this setting enabled (android bug) but toggles off pretty quickly.

Battery utilization while awake obviously varies with activity but I have to work very hard to top 10% per hour. Screen brightness can be a big draw; I keep mine around 30% inside with auto adjust disabled.

Suggest using Gsam (or the battery utility of your choice) and Greenify to identify and rein in misbehaving apps. The Google app can be a huge draw depending how it is configured. Some people get all bothered by wakelocks but honestly I find them to be more an indicator of of a

potential

issue than a problem themself. Blocking wakelocks is a fools errand that can create a host of other issues and has minimal benefits (at best) vs other strategies. I also disable most auto-starts as a ridiculous number of apps autoload at boot and whenever the device condition changes.

Your GPS comment suggest you may have a LTE model (standard models do not have a GPS chip). Make sure all LTE functions are disabled as it is not supported by the Nexus rom.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] stefanero313:
Hello Davey,

thank you for the reply.

Well really strange to me aswell, as I cannot see what is using CPU really. I will try to investigate a little with gsam.
