Overclocking is absolutely, 100% possible, but USB On-The-Go is probably not. On their last generation of kindle fires, they seem to have disabled USB OTG at a Hardware and software level.

I set my clock to center and it randomly disappeared after a couple hours of usage. Reboot fixed it for me though. My % of battery i had disappeared after a while when i had it set to circular.

This could be the problem as some firmware are updated since version 13.3.1.0 and this is the only difference i can think off between your devices and mine.

If your batterie is 100% then the % will not appear.

Tried to flash the zip below to get back to stock.

By flashing I guess I messed with my recovery, because now device doesnt want to boot and I cant get into recovery.

"adb devices" shows device as "offline".

Any ideas or finally bricked?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Arg this doesn't looks good for you yes. I don't know why it has failed, I guess the ROM from hashcode is just stock ROM so it should have worked. To be clear you flashed this ROM via twrp and you had no apparent errors before rebooting ? There's unfortunately a high chance that your device is bricked.

I will try to test this zip file on my device to see where it could have happened and will also try [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] restore images to see the differences. I will also try to make a 13.3.2.3 flashable zip file. This will take me some time to do that so maybe people should wait before trying to flash any stock ROMs in twrp recovery.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Droid_1:
No, there werent any errors before rebooting.

Thats pretty unlucky, since now we have all the benefits of cm on this nice piece of hardware...

Anyhow, thanks for the quick reply!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
I just examined the "thor-amazon-os-13.3.1.0.zip" file. This file is for safestrap and should not be flashed/used. It does not flash/contains the needed boot image.

To go back to stock, you should use amazon update files. The latest one which should still be compatible with twrp recovery / cm is : https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-13.3.2.3.2_user_323001720.bin. Rename this ".bin" to ".zip" and flash from twrp recovery. THIS STILL NEED TO BE CONFIRMED BY SOMEONE.

For [MENTION=4889953]Droid_1[/MENTION] : the strange thing is the zip you flashed does not flash the recovery, so the recovery should still be accessible. So when you start your device with power and volume + it just stay on the kindle logo ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wildgunman:
works this rom with the 4G variant ? Thx
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zivimo:
hey!

thank you very much for your work! i have several android devices and i'm always keen on getting CM on then becuase i think its just the best rom.

but now to the question: i have safestrap installed and since that a unlocked bootloader plus my system runs on 3.2.4 (thor). but if i create a rom slot and try to install the cm-11*.zip safestrap throws:

Installing '/datamedia/media/0/cm-11-20150101-UNOFFICIAL-thor.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...

Updating partition details...

did i do something wrong? do i really have to overwrite the stock rom?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
This is a more complicated process. You need to be on stock ROM < 3.2.4 (I think 3.2.3 could be perfect) then install twrp recovery from there. Finally install cm from twrp recovery.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
It should work but without dialer (at least) as I do not own a 4g version. I may try to add back dialer if someone can confirm data is currently working else it could be too much work for me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wildgunman:
I need no dialer, i need only the 4G connection but i can test it :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
I'm not sure you'll be able to enter sim code without the dialer ^^

I'll enable telephony in next build and well see then.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zivimo:
ahh ok. i guess you should change the "<= 3.2.4" to "< 3.2.4" in your first post. i have a 4g version. i will try the 4g functionality if i find time to roll back to 3.2.3.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wildgunman:

I got it back to life! After kindle fire logo the display went black due to missing system. I didn't recognize that and rebooted by pressing the power button + volume up. It seems I never hit the right spot and missed recovery.

After x times and reading your post (!) I finally had the right timing and booted into recovery!

Many thanks for your help / feedback!

I'm so happy for you. This is not a good feeling to participate in a brick :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jimyv:
try

reading the OP...

this is not repeat is not 4 safestrap recovery OMG people.....this can only be flashed if you have the rare but fortunate ability to have had your bootloader unlocked. And if you had you would know it for certain. Otherwise your bootloader is locked people. And now we have a real recovery that will bypass the bootloader. That is what this ROM is for. And it says it right in the first post. I don't understand why these people expect us to waste our time and read their complaints and words spend our time to try to help them when most of them haven't even made a half assed effort to help themselves. Try comprehending what you are reading and reading it first and foremost understanding it !!! yet before you start flashing it.

and that means be very careful what you intend on flashing and which recovery they are not repeat they are not interchangeable. Your OP for your modification will state what it is meant for and how to use it it is up to you to comprehend it..this is not rocket science people
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Droid_1:
As a flashaholic you have to be aware of the possibliity of bricking!!! (So far I never did *knock knock*) :p

So finally I updated form 13.3.1.0. to 13.3.2.3, rooted, flashed twrp using flashify and installed cm from there, rebooted and the problem of reboots after screen rotation is gone!

Many thanks again! :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Cool so that's it ! Thanks for the report testing. So we NEED to be on fw/btl 13.3.2.3 to get all the benefits from CM. I could eventually find/add required fw to the CM zip but it would be easier/better if people just start from 13.3.2.3 before flashing CM.

To be clear you flashed the 13.3.2.3 stock update I pasted before ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Droid_1:
Yes, downloaded the .bin, renamed it (.zip) and followed the process as desribed above.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
That appears to have been the issue. Screen rotation problem gone, but I still did run into my other issues. The WiFi one is mentioned in your todo list, but is your bluetooth working? Mine still won't turn on. Also, the WiFi issue is a bit odd. It was on during setup and I was able to login to my network, but after setup it was off and wouldn't turn back on until I rebooted.

For others, this is what I did in detail (including adding Gapps so that setup would go through Gapps as well).

1 - Download the following and keep in a folder (mine were all kept in the Downloads folder)

- https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-13.3.2.3.2_user_323001720.bin and rename ".bin" to ".zip"

- twrp-recovery-hdx-thor-2.8.1.0.img from http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-1-0-thor-t2986004

- CM11 from the first post

- The CM11 Gapps package from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

- Flashify apk (Google search for it)

2 - Reboot to recovery

3 - Flash update-kindle-13.3.2.3.2_user_323001720.zip (you renamed .bin to .zip, right?)

4 - Perform Factory Reset for good measure

5 - Reboot into newly flashed 13.3.2.3.2, but DO NOT connect to WiFi!!!

6 - Using Faznx's KF-HDX Toolkit v0.95 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665683) root and disable OTA (you can probably use the HDX Toolkit × revived × GUI version of this as well, but I still had the other on my machine http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/hdx-toolkit-revived-gui-t2987043)

7 - Connect to WiFi (make sure you have disabled OTA in the previous step!!!)

8 - Download a file manager from Amazon (I use ES File Explorer)

9 - Using ES File Explorer, install the Flashify apk from your Downloads folder

10 - Using Flashify, flash twrp-recovery-hdx-thor-2.8.1.0.img and reboot into recovery

11 - Wipe Data (CM11 will complain otherwise)

12 - Flash CM11 from your Downloads folder

13 - Flash the Gapps package from your Downloads folder

14 - Reboot, run through setup, and once in CM11, reboot once more to get WiFi back on if it isn't already on.

Probably more detail than needed, but maybe it will be of use for others.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
For me the WiFi problem is secondary as it's still working fine after a reboot and until it is manually disabled. Also it could/will take some time to be solved.

Else i didn't tried BT at all so it may actually be broken. I'll take a look soon.

Also thanks for the detailed steps. Note that you should be able to do all in "one step" :

- flash twrp from any rooted ROM

- flash update-kindle-13.3.2.3 if current ROM != 13.3.2.3

- flash cm before rebooting

I will try to make a flashable zip with only the fw/bl updates so we can flash CM on top of any rooted ROM.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
Yeah, the WiFi thing isn't a big issue for me at all, but will be interested to see what you find regarding the bluetooth.

As for the steps, thanks. I figured I could have done most of it all at one time like you said, but I tend to be very cautious and not knowing for sure made me take the longer way :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Droid_1:
After some testing I can confirm:

- no reboots with 13.3.2.3.2 anymore

- WiFi works as long as not turned off

- BT not working

The how to by [MENTION=5826031]icedtrip[/MENTION] would be perfect for OP. May it would be easier / safer to install flashify by adb, so you don't have to connect to wifi (no risk of ota).

Ive got no rotation problems on 13.3.1.0.

Only the known wifi probs, but thats not really a problem for me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
adb install would be easier / safer, but I've been having issues with my computer and adb not playing nice that I haven't solved yet. Its a miracle the toolkit worked on this damn computer :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Koetermann:
Yes, that's right.

Installed your CM11 ROM over a downgraded Stock 13.1.3.10 (downgraded from 13.1.3.24).

- No issues/reboots after screen rotation.

- Known Wifi issue.

- Known BT issue.

- Can't confirm root permissions with SuperSU.

one question about the rom

when connecting to pc it now appears as a Nook Android Interface (and install drivers)

do i have to install a nook driver as it doesnt show up in explorer as mtp
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] arman68:
I am so happy! :D I never thought the day where my HDX would run CM11 would come so fast. I installed it on top of 3.2.3, as below:

safestrap recovery: select stock rom slot, factory reset

safestrap recovery: flash rollback file for stock 3.2.4/nexus 2.0.2

reboot to modified 13.3.2.4 stock (do not connect wifi)

placed amazon stock 3.2.3 to root of sdcard, and manually apply update

root amazon stock 3.2.3 with towelroot

flash TWRP recovery 2.8.1.0 with flashify

reboot to TWRP recovery

TWRP: factory reset

TWRP: install CM11

TWRP: install 320 dpi google apps minimal X+ edition (this also removed everything I wanted to get rid of)

TWRP: install chrome and google keyboard addon packages (also removes AOSP keyboard and browser)

TWRP: factory reset and wipe data

Wifi did not work on first boot. After a power off + power on, I was able to connect.

Here is a list of problems I have come across:

wifi does not work after being turned off; workaround: reboot

bluetooth does not work

random soft reboot (so far only sometimes when launching lucky patcher)

app list is empty in settings battery usage details

mobile networks option should not be avilable on wifi only device; it also shows as an error in battery usage details

device is not accessible from PC when connected via USB

google camera does not seem to work; the gapps minimal X+ package removed the stock camera, and I will need to re-add it manually

amazon appstore works, but everytime straight after boot, an "unknown error" pops up

Rooted SSH/SFTP Daemon crashes when trying to invoke the media scanner

The wifi problem is really annoying, and with bluetooth not working, at this stage I would think twice before installing it for someone else. For my own use though, I am very happy. Leaving wifi on all the time is not so bad since it has such a great battery life (1% loss in 5 hours standby!). Xposed framework with Greenify and Amplify work fine.

Interesting brightness curve. Definitely a big improvement over the stock or nexus one. I feel it could still go a bit lower: the current minimum is 10/255=4%. Absolute minimum is 1/255=0.4%, but that is barely readable even in complete darkness. The next step up, 2/255=0.8% is. I have not done much brightness curve tuning on this device, but I think the automatic brightness curve could safely be lowered to at most 5/255=2%, with a few more steps at the bottom end.

Great job! I love my Kindle Fire HDX thanks to you; best tablet in the world. Especially with the origami case; I have a feeling this will be my favourite tablet for the next few years.

Google Camera from PlayStore works fine for me on this Rom. Can confirm most of the other Bugs, did not try anything.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] arman68:
The problems I had with the google camera is probable because I installed it through the PA-gapps-addon package. No worry though, since it is not a camera phone, and the stock cm11 camera is more than good enough.

one question is everything ok with the space after having safestrap installed in the past (had stock and 2 rom slots) after downgrading and installing recovery and flashing this ROM safestrap doesnt come up anymore

after boot

i have the 16 GB kindle model

unfort. df doesnt show anything in terminal (even after su) so i had to use a tool from playstore and settings /storage

is it ok to only have 11,7 gb usable out of the 16 gb?

that system data seems 4gb like a default rom slot was in safestrap

thanks for any help

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jimyv:
well

well you guys were supposed to do a factory reset from stock and wipe data on device the procedure. But this may help. Your safestrap is not going to be compatible with cm 11. You are going to have to use a Root Browser and go to \mnt\shell\emulated and delete that safestrap folder.this is where your current slot was stored and your slots you created. at least that is where it is on my Apollo should be similar on thor

and you can also delete that T RWP folder on your SD card if you like but it will contain all your backups of data from safestrap and they will partially be compatible with your new recovery for data partition and system partition only

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jimyv:
sure

restore the backup you took before you flashed cm 11. You don't need remove this TRWP to get safe strap to work.you just need to restore your fire OS and kernel from backup. Then your safestrap should work as usual as long as your fire OS is flashed into stock position
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] andPS2:
thanks for that tip as it did free me lots of space!!

i did the factory reset and downgraded - safestrap was wiped and when checking the app said it wasnt installed

the TWRP is a new backup i didnt with TWRP - i like to keep one backup on the kindle in case i cant mount in TWRP in case of a failure! ;)

i am really excited about the possibilites with this device right now!

p.s. on a positive note about this ROM

while my two computers at home didnt recognize the kindle as an MTP device my 2 computer ats work did (windows 8.1 and windows 7)

recognize it as Kindle Fire HDX!

Works great 13.2.3.2 I think it is... The one everyone recommends.

No rotation issues.

Wifi Issues as stated but no big deal. Just leave it on.

Can I make a request though? On the Fire OS the volume via headphone was a bit louder.

Reason being, I play music through my car speakers via auxillary (I know it's dated). The music is only decent and acceptable. With the Fire OS the music could be loud and really push it.

Not necessary by any means. If it's too much. Just ignore this.

Appreciate the work.

Hi,

I have a problem with sound too high on headphones minimal volume. So I'm trying to lower that but this may have reduced the maximum volume ?! In any case the minimal volume too high is not solved either :x This is something that will probably take me some time to solve.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Reckerr:
Great to see you listen to the feedback. I also have the slightly higher than normal low volume. But definitely the max volume is a bit lower as well compared to the Stock.

You are a genius by the way. I would recommend the bluetooth priority over this though.

guys i fixed the problem with fire hdx not showing up on some computers (after even USBDeview

and uninstalling all usb drivers then reconnecting and it showing MTP device and no driver found)

windows can be so sick sometimes... this is from some amazon.com customer discussion

1. Open Device Manager

2. Right click "MTP" and press on "Properties"

The "MTP Properties" window should open.

3. Go to the driver tab and press "Update Driver".

4. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

5. Press "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

6. Scroll down to "Portable Devices", select it and press "Next".

7. Select "(Standard MTP Device)" for "Manufacturer" and "MTP USB Device" for "Model".

Press "Next" when done.

8. A warning will show up, just press "Yes".

9. It should give you the "Successful" message.

Close all windows and go to "Computer".

10. Your Kindle should now show up on "Computer".

works for me on windows 7

Working great for me so far. Wifi bug is neglectible, since automatic Wifi on/off in hibernating mode works. App List in Battery options is missing, but battery life is really good.

One thing I noticed is that the overall performance is a bit slower than on [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] 's JB Nexus Rom with stock kernel. Antutu benchmark results are attached (32075 on CM11 vs 38886 on the 3.2.4 stock kernel). Maybe this could be an aftereffect since I installed TWRP on 3.1.0 and there was some reporting about screen rotating bugs when starting with this version. I do not have these bugs anyway, but screen rotations seem a bit jerking. Not disturbing at all, but visible. Maybe somebody who started with 3.2.3 can report back?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Reckerr:
I feel like something is wrong. I get 22154 on my 7" 3.2.3.2 running cm11. What am I doing wrong?

Rotation is a bit jerky, somewhat in frames. But its the same everytime, so I thought thats how its supposed to be.

You have a 7" right, 800 Snapdragon, Adreno 330?
