For cripes' sake stop messing with nightly updates! It's been well established they are not reliable on Thor/Apollo.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

You can't install CM in a Safestrap slot. You have to uninstall safestrap, rollback stock image (suggest rolling up to 3.2.5 first), reroot, install twrp, update and then unlock your bootloader. See here and here for more details.

Edit: Forgot which thread I was in. Technically you do not need to unlock your bootloader for CM11 (although still highly recommended). Only CM12 requires an unlocked BL. All of the other steps still apply.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Tersus:
Thank you, sir! Downloading the 3.2.5 image atm...

I was going to install CM11 because I thought it was more stable. Should I go for CM12 instead?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
CM11 does seem a bit more stable (feature complete) at the moment but you really can't go wrong with either. If you are looking for a rock solid AOSP rom take a look at Nexus 2.0.5. Yeah, it's based on Jelly Bean but everything works and many of the most coveted features of CM11/CM12 can be obtained via Xposed and a few key modules (eg: GravityBox). That said, there are a few apps that don't work with JB based roms including more recent offerings from Microsoft (eg: Office family).

A word of caution: Flashing (upgrading/downgrading) is risky and can leaded to a bricked device. Think through every step and don't panic if things go wrong. Most importantly, do NOT attempt a factory reset at any point unless specifically instructed to do so. Kindle devices are finiky beasts. A quick look around the forums will reveal many stories of dead devices killed in the hands of intelligent owners who simply made a mistake.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
Something else to consider. Is yours a WiFi model or cellular model? In CM12, cellular doesn't work for Thor, so you are better of with CM11 for now. With that said, having tested both, I must say CM12 feels faster/smoother. I've experienced some lags with CM11.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Tersus:
It's a wifi model. I'm fine with a nexus rom as well though.

Successfully updated to 3.2.5 now. Do I need to downgrade for the Nexus ROM too?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
Sorry. I can't answer that question. I've never tried Nexus. I'm just using CM11, waiting for CM12 to work out kinks before I make the switch.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
For the Nexus ROM you have two choices:

1) Install Safestrap, create a new rom slot and install Nexus v1.0.1 into that slot (Fire OS must remain in the base slot)

2) Downgrade, install TWRP and then flash Nexus v2.0.5

The first approach is much easier and generally safer provided you follow instructions. There is no difference between Nexus v1.0.1 and v2.0.5; just different identifiers depending on how they will be installed. v1.0.1 is for Safestrap; v2.0.5 is for use with TWRP.

If you opt for method #1 don't forget to block OTA updates if you haven't already. There are a couple different approaches; post back if you need assistance. Until then keep wifi off to avoid an automatic update from Amazon.

Link to Nexus v1.0.1 here. Post back if you have questions, need help finding Safestrap or prefer to go the rollback/twrp/v2.0.5 route.

Hi I'm new to posting can you help or point me in the right direction. I have a hdx that I rooted rolled back, unlocked bootloader, erased to prep for cm11 but Bluetooth speakers/headphones lock up and when it doesn't say's incorrect pin.

Hey [MENTION=438903]dpeddi[/MENTION]

How are you doing?! You've been working silently from the looks of things. I see updates popping up, but I am a bit hesitant to install them because I don't have a clue what changed in your more recent builds.

If it's possible, could you report a little on your (brilliant) work? Still eager to test it.

Kind regards

Arthasdude
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] dpeddi:

What did u have to do to get Bluetooth to work. I tried the nightly and got nothing on bluetooth
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] candiflan:
What I did was first turn on Bluetooth if search for device gets stock restart the device, second turn on your Bluetooth devices then go to setting Bluetooth and hit search for device ,if no devices fund turn off bluetooth and On ,weait for the search for device button to be ready ,tap the button to search an prey it work
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
if the device requires a PIN code when pairing, this firmware will not operate. since there is no way to enter a PIN code.

Bluetooth can disable wifi in cm11 nightly build rom

Thank you for your excellent work! I would like to report that the bluetooth in this version can disable wifi. I was trying to turn on and turn off bluetooth to search device and at some point, the wifi got disabled and can't be turned on. I had to reboot the HDX to restore wifi.

My device is kindle hdx 7 and I tried the nightly build 0330, 0507, 0509 and 0511. They seem to be the same to me.

Would you please take a look at this issue? I noticed that the nexus 2.0.5 rom and magic bean 1.0.1 rom both have good bluetooth function so I guess there is no problem in HDX 7's bluetooth hardware. Thank you so much!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] NeverSmile:
Sry for asking. But is no more update or you just be in the process. Long time this topic recive the new update

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
dpeddi,

Dear developer, please do not throw the project. All remained perfectly finished Bluetooth and lte.

We all look forward to your assembly!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
Why should he continue here, a working cm 12 with lte and Bluetooth would be much better!?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Newer is not always better. KitKat (the basis for CM11) remains the predominant android fork and some apps/hacks work better with it. On HDX devices CM11 can be flashed without unlocking the bootloader; not so with CM12. It is my understanding the HDX variants of CM11 and CM12 are being advanced somewhat independently which suggests hardware compatibility characteristics may also vary.

Rest assured the developers (those who invest the time/talent and selflessly share their work with others) will make the call when it's time to stop work on CM11 or any other rom.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tuanda82:
Since there is no update on this cm11. I hope we will have cm12 soon.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] holeshot77:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tuanda82:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] conan1600:
just realized i cant play 1080p or above videos on youtube with this version or the nexus 2. version. is there a way to enable it or is this a limitation of the build?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
This has been reported before with no obvious resolution. And I doubt anyone will put much effort in given anything above 720p is a waste on either HDX variant given screen dimensions. I also believe casting is capped at 1080p - possibly lower.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lolwatpear:
you can by editing the build.prop to Android 5.0.2

hey guys I just found out that the newest cm-11-20150511-NIGHTLY-apollo, Bluetooth paired all my devices, I was testing and wondering if my OBD2 would help my other Bluetooth devices but it didn't paired so I tried to paired my headset that work, that help my obd2 to paired and the OBD2 help my keyboard to paired to and my Nikko controller works now so im super happy with cm thank you ggow,Cpasjute an dpeddi for the hard work
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] conan1600:
Not sure what your saying but I know I see a difference in 1080p and 720p on this screen. I almost never use this tablet is why I've never caught this before. Another thing is I can't seem to update my cm to any nightly at all. Always just says failed in TWRP. Not sure why. I even tried factory resets and redownloading the original version to no avail

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Thank you I'll try that tonight
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Well - the optimal PPI debate is ongoing so I probably should have refrained from offering an opinion. And it obviously matters which HDX you have, usage (eg: gaming vs video vs text), lighting, rendering, conversion, AA and a host of other factors. Hopefully the workaround offered by another poster works for you.

Nighties have been problematic for some with issues ranging from failed installations to misbehaving devices (fortunately no bricks). Not sure what the issue is as I'm not an Android dev. General guidance has been to stay away from nightlies but I understand they sometimes bring new capability and resolve problems. Hopefully can be sorted in time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] holeshot77:
Im curious as to kernel mods and updated twrp. With cm 11 running doesn't that open a slough of possibilities?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] slater_g:
Can someone link me to the nightlies? Am I too blind to find the link?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Stay away from nightlies on this device. Tends to introduce more problems than fixes. Wait for official release/update. Or try Nexus 4.x (kitkat) which appears to be a bit more feature complete at the moment. Love CM, just not a great match on HDX due to Amazon restrictions.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lekofraggle:
Or, ask ggow to fork his repo and implement the nightly changes yourself. Of course, you would need to create a build environment. You will learn so much about Android, your device, and computers in general.

I apologize for the suggestion ggow if you do not want to share your repo.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Or try the latest CM11 build released by [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] (here) which may be more up-to-date. Note this variant requires an unlocked bootloader; it can also be run under Safestrap v4 on a locked/rooted device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] KFHDX_Need_Android:
Thanks much for this... i have HDX in my self for last 3 months with dead battery not sure what to do. I will try this tonight.

You need an unlocked bootloader or have TWRP signed recovery installed.

I tried installing cm-11-20150316-UNOFFICIAL-apollo.zip on my 3rd Gen LTE Apollo. I'm on unlocked BL running TWRP 2.8.4.0. I wiped system and data prior to attempting the install. The install fails with the following error:

As mentioned in the OP, you can safely ignore the mount error.

You can initiate a factory reset in the Wipe menu (so data, cache, and Dalvik).

You should do an Advanced Wipe. Go to Wipe->Advanced Wipe and select: "Dalvik Cache", "Data", "Cache" and "System"

If late isn't up gps work with WiFi network.

Magic Bean should use rild from 3.2.x while cm11 use rild from 4.5.2 so there are difference.
