i am using safestrap but i f**d up my stock rom so i have your versin on the stock can i just flash on top and then wipe cache dalwik and data?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I am running it in stock, so yes give it go. It should be ok.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
I wiped dalwik, data, cache and system. thenn flashed nexus than gapps. now it is stuck on a blackscreen after the safestrap.. any ideas? i dont have my twrp data restore on the kindle anymore..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Which version of Apollo Gapps and safestrap did you have installed?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
1.3

Damn.. how do i copy back the data backup from the pc in twrp.. i also still have the 1.3 apollo zip/rom on the device
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Ok, you need to have come from an update that was based on 14.3.1.0 stock kernel, apollo gapps 1.3 is based on 14.3.2.4.

Hold the power button down for about 20 seconds and the device should power off then you should be able to get back into safestrap to flash apollo gapps 1.3.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
I just tried that, it isnt working either anymore.. i think i remember that when i installed it after flashing the rom i had to restore my data partition on top or something like that.. :( what i do now..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] holeshot77:
Ggow u are the man!!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
can you get into safestrap?

If so you have adb access. With this you could push the twrp data from your pc back to the device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Cheers mate, have you got it up and running?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
yeah thats what im triing now, but whats the commend to push a folder and not a file.. sorry for the mess, i was just so happy about asop.. are you gonna make a version for like 1.3 also?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
This should do it...

adb push <folder-name> /sdcard/<folder-name>/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I don't think there is any need or advantage to making a new version. The only reason Apollo Nexus is based on 14.3.1.0 was because of how long ago I started working on it and the amount of work that had already gone in didn't warrant deviating from that path.

I know there are some that have managed to downgrade successfully.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Cheers mate, it won't be long before all the aosp features are implemented. I now understand what I need to do to get games working - ie building a new audio and mediaplayer stack.

I'll try and release 1.2 this week as a stop gap.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update - Release 1.2

Files are uploading at the moment, will update the file links when done.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kudoz83:
Updating the Gapps as well mate? Love your work by the way; was planning on getting rid of the HDX until I tried your ROM. Looking forward to netflix working!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Glad you like the ROM, Gapps will stay at the same revision for now, I may do a an update later and make a lighter version in the future.

Netflix may not work in version 1.2.

For 1.3 I will have overhauled the media player and audio stack which should fix most if not all media applications and games.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update

File upload speed is snails pace at the moment, will try again this evening...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
Can't wait to get home and give it a try when it is uploaded, but quick question. Since I've had this device, I've always started over from scratch with new ROM slots when flashing a new ROM, but if I want to keep all my settings and downloaded apps going from 1.1 to 1.2, do I just flash this over 1.1 or wipe system and then flash 1.2 leaving data alone?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Just flash the new ROM then gapps over the top and reboot. Do not need to wipe :)

Added note to OP about upgrading...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
That's what I thought, but always good to verify. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] casualt:
downgrade

Just to let people know who are viewing this.

It is confirmed that this will only work on 13.3.1.0.

I have posted a tutorial on how I downgraded to 13.3.1.0 in the THOR successful rolled back to 13.3.1.0 POST.

Hit the thanks if it worked.

Thanks GGOW GREAT WORK!

No sweat, I'll jump to 1.2 just to get Chrome and a few other things working and test it out. Might be an idea to put a quick Known Bugs list right above the first post Download link to prevent what might be an onslaught of "does netflix work", "netflix doesn't work" etc. People are more likely to quickly read that than go to the Bugs tab I'd say...

On the positive side, a lot of things are starting to work. Flickr works, live wallpapers work, chrome works, and thumbnails are now working. I'll file a bug report for the Google voice. I'm continuing to test but great job so far

I install with full wipe and I got Google Account manger when setting up. Kindle can't boot and stuck at the setting location screen. What can I do for this error?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I haven't seen that error, the only thing I can suggest is try just restarting, which kindle are have you got - thor or apollo?

It can take quite a while to get through the setup wizard, not sure why but it's on my todo list.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kokkok:
I use Thor and I can't get through the setup wizard :( Can You repost the link of ver 1.1 and gapps for this one. I will try update from 1.1 to 1.2 for checking the error. Many thanks for your rom.

P/S: My device run perfectly without gapps. :)

Roadmap for next Build

For the next build - v1.3:

I will be focussing on overhauling the media player and Audio Stack.

Barring framework errors, I am confident that this will fix most if not all media applications such as XBMC, Netflix and Games.

After v1.3, I'll then be able to begin fixing up the remainder of the framework issues.

Thanks everyone for all your support :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
no, greater probability of it working in the next version 1.3, which is in progress

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
Yeah, I noticed that too. Without Gapps installed, the ROM works fine as there's no setup wizard.

After just constantly retrying, it somehow went through for me though.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Droid_1:
Can confirm that...

But awesome performance after setting up!

Any update on the progress of 1.3?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jimyv:
umm

By the way, asking for updates or eta is considered extremely rude by most developers just in case you were not aware of this .. Most if not all this development is done on each developers spare time . We all here appreciate their work and anticipate their next project but please do not offend them .
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update

The new audio stack has worked out really well. Check out the bugs section which I have updated.

Upsides:

- We'll have games :)

- Google Voice Search

- Voice typing on keyboard

- Netflix

- XBMC

- etc etc

- check the bugs section for more info

Downsides:

- The headphone jack is not working.

Quirks:

- Screen needs to be locked in landscape mode before launching some games otherwise they turn upside down - could be something to do with the way amazon defines the screen orientation but not sure at the moment.

I'll do some testing and let you all know when it's ready for release.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] sherry478:
thank you for the update.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

I wasn't trying to be 'rude'. you're the one *****ing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
I've never even used headphones with my HDX, so that shouldn't really be a problem for me. However, the idea of having to lock orientation each time definitely sounds annoying. I don't know if it's related, but using just FireOS with a custom launcher produces similar issues when attempting to move/place icons — the screen keeps flipping.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Release of HDX Nexus 1.3...

I have now finished testing...

Everything is looking good with the following two exceptions:

1. The headphone jack is not working which I have previously mentioned.

2. After launching a game or multimedia app, there seems to be an issue with the volume control getting stuck on the media level adjustment slider when returning to the launcher. You can work around this by going to the the task list and swiping away all multimedia apps to then be able to adjust system sound level. Another method is to use xposed to turn on expandable volume controls. I will try to fix this in one of the next releases.

I'll post an updated changelog and file links as soon as files are up.

Once the files are up I'll update the bugs section. I find the bugs management on here a bit cumbersome - I may setup my own bug tracking system.

Need someone to test the Thor version to make sure it installs ok and runs without force closing on the Setup Wizard.

Any takers?

Thanks, I have just managed to replicate the problem on my apollo device so will fix it then upload the files - will keep you posted.

Update...On a fresh install the ROM itself is fine, but with all the changes I have made my gapps package is breaking something causing a force close on the setup wizard, then no progress can be made past the wizard. Will have to fix this first.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
Do you need to test a clean install or an upgrade install? By Setup Wizard, I'm assuming a clean install, but figured I'd ask.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] WARpig5:
I can test as well
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Ok I have fixed that problem.

I will upload the files tomorrow, I'll PM the thor link to a few of you who said you could test it out. The key thing is that you can get through the setup wizard ok and that when you get to the launcher there are no "android.process.acore has stopped" messages.

I think it's time for bed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
You can just do an upgrade install if you are coming from an earlier version of the HDX Nexus ROM :)

Yes, headphone jack is working, but only if applications has its own audio routine (not android built-in, which is broken), you can test XiiaLive, which is playing through headphones fine, but very quiet (tested on HDX 8.9).
