- I won't be updating the Device Tree here anymore

- In fact you can adapt the Slim LP device tree to work with very little effort

- I have released a CM-13 build here which I'll be supporting instead going forward

I hadn't flashed it, but did so now. Still no apps showing up in the battery screen.

Will try the tool next.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
And you are running CM-11 in the stock slot (if using Safestrap v4) with no secondary slots created/populated? The latter is a known issue with secondary slots in SSv4; poor performance and high battery utilization are common.

Also snag AIDA64 (or another HW diagnostic/reporting app) from here or here to monitor CPU/GPU activity. If you see more than two cores active at high MHz levels at idle you have a problem. GPU should also throttle with load.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gorthon:
No, I am running CM12.1 with an unlocked bootloader, no safestrap. That's why I'm posting in this thread :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Well that was incredibly stupid of me; gotta pull the finger out and pay attention! :eek:

Aside from SS/CM11 blunder previous responses still apply. Hopefully battery/hw monitoring will provide some clues. Also note [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] is working on a CM13 build which may offer some further refinements (doze, etc). Still early; best to monitor before jumping in.

p.s. Process stats under developer options can be helpful too.

how to update to 12.1 CM official?

I wanted to update to 12.1, but every time I do, my wallpaper, apps, etc... all disappear.

I end up having to roll back to CM 11 to get all my apps back.

Is there a way to update and keep my apps and preferences??

tia:confused:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Generic android question. Poke around for info on how to backup and restore apps/data after upgrading OS. Titanium backup is a respected tool (app) but there are many others, some free. Can also accomplish task via twrp albeit with more work, greater risk.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] scorvio:
Just to update that, I managed to fix the sensors issue by recreating /persist partition. It probably corrupted by a build I installed with bad emmc driver. Thanks for the support.

I'll wait until the devs can figure it out, obviously its a quantum leap for them right now. Definitely should be a consideration.

I have a question, is cm13 an unrealistic hope for this device? No idea how much of a difference marshmallow is compared to LP. Not asking for it or anything like that, in just looking for a "it requires things we simply don't have/would he incredibly difficult to do" or a "Yeah nothing inherently hard about it but will take some time" kinds of answers.

Hi,

this Rom works great!

Thank you Cpasjuste, ggow, dpeddi and Hashcode very much!

Unfortunately no pictures (Movie Thumbnails, X-Ray Pictures, ...) are displayed in the Amazon Video App

Playing videos, however, is possible.

I suspect the error is related to the following messages along logcat:

Can you give me a hint how I can fix this?

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] proximo256:
Hi M4rv1n69,

The easiest fix is actually uninstalling the Amazon video app, make a backup of the build.prop file, and edit the fields to mimic the flo Nexus 7. You do not want to overwrite all the fields, only ones related to identifying the type.

http://muzso.hu/2012/10/01/how-to-g...compatible-with-your-...-message-in-google-pl

This is the best place I go for the fields that you can change without (high probability of not) bricking your device. Once you do that, when you reinstall the app, all the directories and settings will get setup for the cache items to become working. I've not had time to sort out what the difference is as that's all you change before it starts working. Now, the side affect will be you lose out on HD video (at least according to Google Play, didn't verify in Amazon nor Netflix). Maybe it's something I hadn't got switched over/changed in the build.prop; I just hadn't taken the time to investigate that.

Kind regards,

Patrick
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] M4rv1n69:
[MENTION=6426768]proximo256[/MENTION] Thank you!

This ROM works unstable: noticeable short freezes of the whole range of stock and third-party applications. I've seen this on 2 HDXs.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
We've been here before. Previous posts claimed instability with twrp (on multiple devices) which dozens/hundreds/thousands of users execute without issue. Your made erroneous claims regarding the developers use and interest in addressing perceived issues along with assertions regarding the device itself. Now we have reports CM is fundamentally unstable on HDX. Really? Time to take look at your own procedures, hardware and possibly unrealistic expectations regarding android devices and custom roms.

Notice from ggow of discontinued support

- I will not be offering any further support for this ROM

- Instead I am actively working on CM-13

- In the unlikely event that Amazon release FireOS 5.x for the HDX then I may create a new Safestrap version to support

- Thanks to everyone that actively worked on, tested and supported CM-12.1 on the HDX
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Thanks for all you do

Wow - comes as a bit of a surprise although I certainly appreciate the need to consolidate efforts [you are spread pretty thin pal across multiple platforms/devices/roms not to mention life :)] and the work that has gone into the HDX variant of CM-12 to date. Looking forward to flashing CM-13 and all the good things to come! Love that my 3rd gen HDX's still feel shiny new and modern, thanks to your roms, despite Amazon abandoning the device.

A nod of appreciation to all the contributors listed in the OP (@Cpasjuste, [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], [MENTION=438903]dpeddi[/MENTION], [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]) who had a hand in bring this rom to HDX almost a year ago. How time flies ...

I just moved to this Rom from CM11. This one isn't recognizing my t-mobile sim that was working fine with CM11. Is there anything i need to do to get it to work?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Known issue; no durable solution. Note this ROM (specifically HDX build of CM12.1) has been discontinued so a fix is unlikely. Choices are to return to CM11 or give CM13 a whirl (still some bugs).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
Ah, that's too bad. CM11 has random reboots (only on rare occasions), so i was hoping that CM12 had already come a long way. Thank you for the reply btw. Can i ask you if you know anything about this weird problem? I can't access TWRP manually. When i try, it just hangs at "kindle fire' screen with " [fastboot]" displayed. If i flash TWRP via flashify within OS, and when it reboots from there, it has no problem booting into TWRP. I'm confused.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Hmm, haven't heard of that one on an HDX. Thoughts:

- assuming you have an unlocked bootloader since you can boot TWRP via Flashify and were able to flash CM12.1 (if not STOP!)

- make sure you bootloader has been updated to 3.2.3.2 (here)

- might try flashing TWRP 3.0.x via Fastboot vs Flashify (here)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
Thank you so much. Upgrading the bootloader worked :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ronnie.khan01:
I'm on Fire HDX 7 and it's on FireOS v4.5.5.1. Can anyone please elaborate me what exactly do I need to flash this rom? Like only doing root would be alright? Do I need to unlock the bootloader and flash the TWRP?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Your choice of ROMs is limited to CM11 and Fire Nexus (both KitKat derivatives) as the bootloader on your device can not be unlocked. Nor can you boot or install TWRP. A custom version of Safestrap has been developed to facilitate hosting CM11 or Nexus. Bounce back if interested; someone will point you to appropriate resources.

Can't I rollback to 3.2.8 via this link and unlock my bootloader?

Or can't I root my device via Kingroot and flash this rom?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cl4ncy:
No, unlockable versions are <x.3.2.4. Due to rollback protection by amazon you can NOT downgrade below 3.2.8 (attempt would brick the device!).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Dude, my previous answer stands. If there was a solution to run CM12 or any other ROM it would have been offered.

Hi,

still using this Rom as a daily driver.

I'm still very satisfied , but I would like to include the latest security updates.

What is the easiest way?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Those who tried (way back when) had unsatisfying results and often ended up reloading ROM. Consider HDX build of SlimLP if you want a Lollipop ROM with reasonably current security updates. Also consider typical environment (what are your exposures) and liabilities (stuff on your device). Media does a good job playing up potential vulnerabilities without associated probabilities. Just doing their job promoting FUD in the interest of revenue.

Found this out the hard way. It started to crash after I flashed gapps. So I had to reflash cm12, go and get the flashable SwiftKey which I use anyway by using the native browser, get that into internal storage, flash it, set it up as primary keyboard, then went to device settings and disabled the sucky AOSP keyboard. *Then* I flashed gapps and everything works. That aosp kb is a pain in the ass. I've had the same thing happen with another tablet, can't remember which one. This is for CM12.1. I don't use or like marshmallow. So...

Download SwiftKey flashable zip to internal. First!

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24562946973632050

Flash CM12.1. Factory reset for good measure. Let it do its thing and go thru thd SwiftKey setup.

Goto settings. Disable the AOSP keyboard.

Back to recovery.

Now flash gapps.

Reboot.

This is how I got things going. Now my mothballed HDX 8.9 has new life and I love it!

Could anyone point me to a good tutorial for flashing in a ROM (and a recommendation which ROM is the most stable right now)? I haven't flashed something since the FIRST edition of the Fire; I've rooted my device and believe it's ready to go, just missing a step and not sure where to start.

OTG is not an option on this device; no hardware support. Unrelated to ROM.

The answer depends on device type and the current version of FireOS currently installed. In particular model, generation and complete ROM identifier.

Hey Cpasjuste/ggow,

After running the CM13 version for the longest time, since it was mentioned CM12 was being resurrected, I thought I'd throw it back on and run with it for a while. I ran into one issue and it's not restricted to this version: Slim also has this problem.

TWRP3, HDX7 thor, In recovery I wiped the entirety of the system (Advanced wipe, selected all partitions, wipe). I tossed over thor CM12 and OpenGapps (tried full, micro, pico) and installed, then restarted. Everything worked and started up, installed apps, configured, etc. All the video apps streamed well (minus Amazon Video with the thumbnail issue fixable with build.prop changes). All the audio apps played and (amazon music and google music) even downloaded files fine for offline play. When I went to download videos for offline play,Amazon worked fine, but Google Video had the only problem I found. It would not start downloading and logcat noted an error that it could create the directories for storing stuff and it's the same problem I found a while ago where /storage/emulated/0 was missing. Problem here though is that even if I create the symbolic link to /storage/emulated/legacy, the app would still never create the directory structure (file permission errors after the link was created) where other apps when they failed like this started working. I've only noticed because I didn't get to watch movies on the airplane trip to Seattle for Microsoft IO Labs. Heh. If you have suggestions on this, I'm all ears, but won't be able to get to it until sometime next week (like toward the end of it maybe).

I'm back on the CM13 backup (some reason I made an unusual intelligent choice there) for now.

Do you use SuperSU?

If yes, try version "BETA-SuperSU-v2.52". As I've used the newest version of SuperSU for my mobile phone I've also struggled with the directories of the sdcard. It didn't mount the directories correctly. This older version of SuperSU fixed it. I never investigated it further.

I flashed the new ROM in hopes that it would fix the Netflix app has stopped working problem, but it didn't. Netflix stopped working a few weeks ago after having been working for a year. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Fine here with Fire Nexus on this device and another running CM 12.1. Given the popularity of Netflix one would think a systemic problem with rom, app or device would be called out pretty quickly. Consider a full wipe prior to next flash.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] yorknh:
Yeah, I would have thought so too. I don't know what happened, one day everything was working, and the next day it wasn't. I can't remember if the Netflix app got updated or not, but I hadn't done anything with the rom since I originally loaded it a year ago or so. I guess I'll try the full wipe and give CM 13 a whirl.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Why switch roms? Control one variable at a time. Do a full wipe and reflash what you have now. If that works consider moving to CM 13. Newer is not always better; read OPs for both roms before making a switch.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] yorknh:
Believe me, I tend not to upgrade anything unless I need to. I had the same thought when I realized I'd have to do a wipe before installing CM13, so I've been holding off on doing anything until just now. I just did a standard wipe and reflash of 12.1 and OpenGapps5.1 standard, reinstalled Netflix, and it fails as before. I guess I can try the Advanced Wipe options. Is there anything in there I shouldn't select? I understand any data I had on there will be erased.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
A "standard wipe" (do you mean 'factory reset') in TWRP does not flush the system partition. Under Advanced Wipe select system, data, dalvik and cache; leave the others alone. When reinstalling Netflix (any app) be sure to use the most recent version unless there is a explicit reason not to.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] yorknh:
Yes, sorry, factory reset is what I should have said. Trying it again after having wiped what you recommended.

edit:Bleh, still didn't work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Bit lost for suggestions. Works fine for me. Possibly a region or account issue. Or I'm just the lucky one (although given the popularity of Netflix one would think the community would have responded if there was an adverse app/device/rom interaction).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] yorknh:

- try again after reboot (simplistic but has worked for me on this device)

- flush cache/dalvik (unlikely to help but easy to try)

- verify downloaded md5

Error 2 suggests a system mount problem but I suspect this is a red herring. Hence the reboot suggestion.
