I downloaded the .bin file and took a look inside it. It has a 'recovery' folder. I wonder what will happen if I repack the archive without it and then flash. Best not to mess with it, probably, but maybe that would prevent recovery being overwritten

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

Update: I tried installing the stock image from TWRP in 2 different ways. First, I tried simply renaming .bin to .zip. With this procedure I got the following error: "Error executing updater binary in zip"

I then tried unpacking the .bin file and then repacking it as .zip. In this case the error I got was simply "Error flashing zip"

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
a small update from me - bluetooth is not working, it looks like it is on - but I cannot find any other BT devices despite them being in pairing mode.

edit:

Replaced the acdb files under /etc/acdb/MTP with the ones from /etc/acdb/THOR. Now I can get a list of pairable devices, but still having issues connecting to some devices. eg. Jabra ROX Wireless headset (A2DP+AVRCP). I can pair the tablet with my macBoox - but cannot transfer any files to/from device.

I'm really needing a working kernel source in order to dig further. :/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I believe 'repackaging' .bin files is relatively easy but I have no direct experience nor links to share. Hopefully someone familiar with the technique can jump in with further guidance. In your shoes I'd wait for further instruction. Device is toast if you mess things up and corrupt the bootloader.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
There's a bit more than just the recovery.

You should use draxie's tool.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
Hmm it doesn't seem to be that well documented. Do I run /upHDX fw update-kindle-XXX.bin to make it into a zip?

It also says to make sure that the bootloader version is at most .3.2.3.2 - how do I ensure that?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
If you have twrp installed your bootloader is at 3.2.3.2 or below.

You're going to have to wade through the various posts and figure things out on your own. There is not a lot of familiarity with these tools. You may want to PM Draxie to see if he can provide some pointers. Sorry for the not-so-helpful post. Don't want to mislead you with misplaced guesses.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
Hi developers,

I am very happy with your effort to provide a reliable LP experience on our great device. I wanna use the HDX Thor device on a hike through three weeks this summer. At the moment, the multi-user-environment is not included in the rom -- however, it would be great to use since I'm travelling with friends and everyone would be able to use their own profile.

Is it merely a config option to add? Would be great if you could include support in your next builds!

Thanks a lot!

New Build

Hi All,

New build: cm-12.1-20150522-UNOFFICIAL posted. See OP for changelog.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
...As for the WiFi bug, disable airplane mode, then WiFi on/of works perfectly..

SOry for not chaninging to english on the screenshots before posting..

Airplane mode disabled. (default it states that Airplane mode is active..)

Look how the wifi is turning on/off: (I disabled the Airplane mode just before 23/5). Notice how it did not turn off before.

About my HDX.

In CM 12.1 I cannot use Freeze in Titanium Backup anyone help me. Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Reinstall Titanium Backup and try again. There is nothing inherent in CM 12.1 that should impact the ability to freeze/unfreeze applications.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

There is no camera shortcut in app drawer so I installed google camera but after restarting the tablet, google camera won't work. It says "app isn't installed". What seems to be the problem? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
A quick look at reviews suggest google camera has a variety if issues across devices/roms. Pick a different camera app. If the problem persists then it may be an issue with the lastest build. Unless others are having camera problems it's likely something specific to your device/config.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
Thanks for answering. Is the default camera app shortcut in your app drawer?. Google camera and default camera is working for me when launched in lockscreen.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ninditsu:
Reporting some issues I found with the latest build cm-12.1-20150522

Cannot rename new users in multi user list

In the newly created user account, the home button does not work

I tried to install another launcher thinking the problem with the home button is the launcher. But the newly installed launcher fails to launch.

Otherwise, this ROM is still running fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
ggow et al: As stated before - if you need a testsubject for LTE fixes, give me a shout. I'm not afraid of testing new kernels - if only I can get LTE/BT to work properly :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] davekaz:
Is there anyone having problems with Bluetooth.. I can't connect with jabra pulse headset since I went from 12 to 12.1...ggow do you have the 12 version unless I could solve this...I didn't wipe when I upgraded which might be the problem. I don't know
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Both show in my app drawer and are functional. Note I did a clean install of the most recent build (...0522); full wipe of everything except internal storage. Always good practice with developmental/unofficial roms.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
Maybe that's the reason why it is not showing on me. I did a dirty install with my data intact. I just installed the updated build then wipe dalvik and I thought it's good to go. I'm enjoying the ROM that's why I do not do a clean install. Lol. I thought it will be fine. But the only problem for me is the camera shortcut not showing up. Everything seems to work fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
You might try wiping cache and dalvik cache (again) from within twrp. This would leave your apps/data intact but might regenerate the contents of the app drawer. A bit more aggressive is to backup you data partition, do a clean install and then restore your data. There are other ways of accomplishing this - just throwing out a conceptual template.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
I also tried that man. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Same. Happens on first boot following a clean install of latest build (0522). Nothing else added.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Final suggestion is do a full backup followed by a clean install of 12.1. See if the camera apps show up (I'm assuming it will). You then have to decide whether to rebuild, restore data or punt and live with it. Have fun. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Yukikyou:
try this build but my game still not working :(

sorry for wasting your time ggow, but do you have the previous build before the 20150403 build? I would really appreciate if you can upload it again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
Like I said. I already tried that but I still followed your suggestion. But i guess I should install the latest build fresh if I want a camera shortcut. Maybe next time in a more stable build. Thanks man. ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Already posted it here earlier.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Yukikyou:
i mean the build before 20150403 (sorry don't remember the correct build number) :(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
Yes, it seems BT is a hin'n' miss at the moment. I can connect to Jabra BT620s - but not the newer Jabra Headsets, Also I cannot connect to my Holux M1200E BT GPS, nor my ELM 327 OBD-II adapter.

Did BT work properly before the branch to 12.1 ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:

---------- Post added at 10:14 ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 ----------

I don't think it worked properly on the original 12.0 branch either. It's on the list to look into. Maybe a solution will come as part of the work I am doing on HDX Nexus Kitkat (4.4.4).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Demonoid111:

I have updated the OP with download links for the previous builds.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
Is this gonna be available for Apollo at all? Best regards
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Yes, at some time in the future, I can't say when - the kernel gpu driver isn't working on Apollo and needs to be debugged. And this stuff will be a learning exercise for me. I am sure Hashcode will give me some needed help.

I am working on the HDX Nexus ROM kitkat version at the moment and so busy for now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
Yeah, thanks for clarification, everybody is so excited about the new nexus version with LTE support.. Including me! it was just a question.. I like a working ROM more than some kind of nightly build and your hdx ROM didn't crash one single time with me. I can't possibly imagine the work you are doing, but I am really glad and thankful, I bought the kindle hdx when it first came out and was always waiting for an unlocked bootloader. I followed your work here that time already :) I had to wait some time but it was worth it. After i bricked my old kindle i bought the LTE version and unlocked it..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DarkenedMatter:
Bummer, settings crash all the time when I try to pull and app up to clear cache and data. ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
Just to know :) is the Apollo Version ever gonna come ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] holeshot77:
Not for awhile. Lots of issues with the Apollo version. I would probably move over to hdx nexus ROM and use a lollipop theme with apex or nova.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fryheit:
Its not about the Theme :) I would like to have lollipop, but then it's fine, I stay with cm11, it's 4.4.4 also. I just like the !launcher more.. Thanks for your clarification!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Doward:
What other issues besides GPU?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jeryll:
Bugs

- WiFi can't be enabled if disabled (reboot required)

- BT crash on disable

- LTE data should or will work [MENTION=438903]dpeddi[/MENTION] fix merged manually may contains errors, and may need matching ril/fw/bl)

- BT should work

Its in OP ... other bugs mentioned in thread ... Personally I am waiting for Nexus4 (kitkat version) from ggow ... it need some polishing but it looks very promising...

I have 5.1 Lollipop on my OPO smartphone, and after first hype ... there are really nothing to gain so far - horrible battery life is too much for me (ART is not helping at all - and after flashing new version of rom you are waiting much much longer until your apps are converted to ART), changes to UI are not smart - maybe its smooth, but that was 4.4.4 too, when I return back from vacation, I going to flash Kitkat version of Slimsaber back...

Just my 2 cents...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] androlev:
where can I look at the source for the "Landscape locking bug fix". Is it fixing this?

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6557

If yes this should be pushed upstream, since every cm12.1 needs it.

Cheers
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Sorry about the delay I had ssh problems, I have uploaded the fix for review here : http://review.cyanogenmod.org/101187

This also fixes the quicksetting to so yes it does fix the above issue.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DarkenedMatter:
Since Bluetooth is buggy and the app settings stuff is broke do you plan on fixing these things eventually? I was wondering what it would take to get Wiimote support. I can apparently connect my wiimote but it doesn't work on any emulators I have.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
You may want to try Nexus v4. Bluetooth and app settings work as they should; Wiimote might work as well. You can use it natively (as your devices bootloader is unlocked) or from Safestrap. Don't get me wrong - CM is great but remains a bit flaky on HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
Is anyone building these using the nightlies? Kind of a shame work stopped. I've been using this as a daily with good results, except for the bluetooth
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] cocoon4u:
I use this ROM too and I am very happy with it ( use it as a remote control for everthing home automation, kodi control, ...) .

Don't use bluetooth so no problem for me. Maybe there will be a newer cm build in the future :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Hashcode is working on cm12.1 still. He's also waiting for me to debug the Apollo kernel.

My spare time has been taken up with work on Safestrap and compatible ROMs.

If I get some spare time will take a look.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
Thanks. Don't really want to go "backwards" at this point. I'm all about LP
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DarkenedMatter:
I have hope.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
Poor lonely cm12
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
Once you go lollipop. You'll never go back. Lol. Still using this ROM and hoping for a new update.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] holeshot77:
I'm still waiting for apollo version. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DarkenedMatter:
We will be waiting for quite a while I do believe. I'm needing to wipe my tablet completely and install the Lollipop rom again but I'm waiting for fixes. :(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I tend to agree. Resources are thin and CM12 is built on a foundation not yet released by Amazon. Makes things interesting at the HW support level. Progress may accelerate once the KitKat (Nexus and CM11) via Safestrap v4 scene fully matures and FireOS v5 comes out (currently in developer preview). While KitKat may seem like ancient history Safestrap v4 is relatively new opening the door to a huge population that was previously stuck with FireOS on HDX and Fire Phone. In contrast, CM12 for HDX only runs on unlocked devices which are relatively rare.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DarkenedMatter:
I know.

Don't get me wrong, really happy for everyone who was stuck on the horrendous FireOS and can get ANYTHING other than it now.

I'm just impatient is all . :eek:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
To be fair, lollipop is working really well for me... But the memory leak is taking its toll
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
So wrong. I really wanted to stay with 5.1 since it was my first device running with it. However, missing LTE support made me switch to CM11 which I didn't use before on thor. It actually makes up for a huge difference. Considering myself a power user, the device is by far snappier than it used to be with almost no glitches. It's way more stable as a daily driver than CM12.1 used to be. Without any woes, it didn't take me too long to trade in the advantages of Lollipop against CM11, and I'm not missing anything.

You may really reconsider your statement 8)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
You must be fun at parties. The only problem I'm having with this rom is app info. I'm not missing anything too because I'm using a wifi only model.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
If this was a daily driver, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Obviously the ROMs that are actively being worked on are snappier. But they aren't lollipop
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
There is no 'right' or 'wrong'. Use what works best which will vary by individual. Surfacing capabilities, issues and support levels is obviously helpful for others trying to decide. Deriding personal choices is not.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] boi2kmall:
Exactly.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
- As you know I have had numerous problems getting the existing lollipop variants so far to play nicely on Apollo.

Well, the only thing I changed in the first CM12 ROM I installed (20150522), was to enable all available rotation options, i.e. 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. And it (still) works fine with the new ROM you uploaded (20150815).

- Video seems good now too

- New kernel is based off Amazon's 4.5.5 sources and latest CAF branch for 5.1.1 (so different to to Hashcode's sources used on Thor)

- I have decided to not build Nexus v5 until there is a stock lollipop kernel as that was the original intent of the ROM

- I have a few other bits to implement then I'll make a release of CM-12 which seems to be running now.
