Hi [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION],when cm12.1 gonna available for Apollo?can't wait to try:)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
We are working on it, I assure you. It will come. But it's not an easy problem to fix - at least for me.

Look in the display settings for Expanded Desktop Settings. Enable it for the apps you require it. You can hide the navbar and status bar when using chrome (or any other app) to gain extra space.

I updated to the latest build and now my camera doesn't work at all. I'm not sure what's wrong but the camera app doesn't work and KiK says I don't have a camera either.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Update

Hi, yes I forgot to mention that the camera would not work in this build. Go back to the previous build if you need camera support. There is a download link to the previous build.

---------- Post added at 11:37 ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 ----------

Just a quick summary of what's been going on in the background.

- [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] has joined our development group, which is awesome. He has been working on a fresh from scratch kernel for apollo and thor. He is now finishing changes required for camera support. The kernel is booting on thor. the cm-12.1-20150403 build for thor uses this kernel hence camera is not working. I forgot to change my build settings back to the other kernel branch we have prior to the build. I have posted a link in the OP for the previous build if you need camera support.

- [MENTION=503571]Cpasjuste[/MENTION] is taking a break at the moment, he did a fine job of getting cm-11.0 and cm-12.0 working for us.

- The new kernel needs to be debugged for Apollo. We'll move onto that asap. I have stopped working on my kernel branch as Hashcode's new kernel will be more maintainable with full traceability and record of authorship going forward.

- [MENTION=438903]dpeddi[/MENTION] has been working hard at cm-11.0.

- As previously mentioned we are working toward getting official cm-11.0 and cm-12.1 support.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Meins321:
testing the new 03.04.15 release of cm12.1...

performance is just crazy, love it!!

GPS is dead, "Route 66" can navigate :(

Most apps work, just

Google Calender can't be installed from the playstore it says "error 505" and Amazon Prime "Instant Video" from the Amazon App Shop wont run propperly, it just starts in the browser and you have to login again and then you can watch videos which is a little annoying...

MX Player is working with HW Decoder and DTS custom codec! Google Maps works, Skype runs (with no camera ofc),The Economist and Opera Browser perform nicely

Thank you for relieving my Kindle Fire HDX from this terrible os, the risky bootloaderunlock payed of massively

hi ggow ,

need your help (again) ...

my HDX7 Thor is on TWRP 2.8.5.0 and Nexus ROM 2.05.

Can I simply flash this cm-12.1-20150403-ROM via TWRP ?

and where can I find a gapps-version that works with this ROM ?

the latest cm11 and cm12-threads are getting more and more confusing...

thanks :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
You need to have an unlocked bootloader as well.

You can use any gapps package you'd like (provided it's compatible with 5.1), but I recommend this one: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tompre5:
thanks for your answer!

to be honest: I flashed various android-devices over the last years - at least a 100 times....

but I don't understand all the stuff about this crappy "unlocked bootloader" !

I flashed Nexus-Rom 2.05 via TWRP, but you say, my bootloader is not unlocked?

I don't get it... :confused:

I see, you have the same device.... and cm-12 ... so what did you do different?

arghh... my brain is stuck :silly:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
No, they're not the same thing.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tompre5:
no, I won't follow that. I know this thread.

But because I never worked with adb, linux, python, whatever....I will simply forget it ;)

I'm gonna wait for an easy tool or an cm-12 for locked bootloaders.

But thanks anyway.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]: Is it just a matter of signing the image with cuber, or is there an actual need for an unlocked bootloader?

Understandable. It's not very easy to follow, especially for newbies.

Here's a more friendly guide for Windows: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58897784&postcount=67
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] FotixChiang:
and you can use the newer cublock.py
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Yes its just a matter of signing the bootimage. But we decided to remove support for non-unlocked bootloader to prevents people from bricking theirs devices and force them to unlock.

In other word : if you want to play with custom ROMs you (really) should unlock.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] FotixChiang:
Here is the question: if one already flash the old CM11 with locked bl, and now he wants to unlock. could he find the same manfID and serial number at the same path? Or does he need to flash back to the Amazon stock firmware to do it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Fully agree (not that my opinion carries any weight). Forums are full of posts from unhappy people, often claiming experience with other devices, who have shot themselves in the foot with no way to remove the bullet. An unlocked bootloader at least offers a path to recovery.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Meins321:
Bug found??

1.It doesn't mount my USB Sticks, wheter 16GB or 4GB nor FAT32/NTFS helped...

ES Explorer won't see them?

Pls include a driver for that, would be real sweet too!

2. If you close the browser, you can see glitches if there some tabs open the browser minimizes with weird blocky images..

great work!

Installed latest update on LTE 16gb version

So far everything works fine except GPS (have not tired LTE yet)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] yujikaido79:
I was reading through the thread and I was under the impression that bluetooth was working fully now but the latest build i just tried and it can't find either of my bluetooth headphones. I was able to pair it with my HTC one because my phone saw the HDX 7 but thats all. I am wondering if I missed something. I did a clean install and flashed 5.1 gapps. Everything else seemed to work that I tried and it runs great.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
Yesterday I decided to take the challenge; rooting, unlocking my bl and installing CM12.1 -- I'm impressed and excited to see how great this port is already running.

Besides the above mentioned issues, I discovered a couple of other problems with the latest ROM:

- multi-user mode seems not to be implemented yet. Is this a CM-issue which has not yet been ported and will we go and see that?

- battery specs are not reporting in battery settings page

- some settings can be disabled under Buttons: the wake-up actions for the soft-key buttons since they just won't work

- search bar can't be activated in default launcher settings: "can't find search activity" -- maybe the Google app needs to be installed? No time to investigate.

Keep up the great work!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
I installed the latest one posted in the OP. It's working fine for the most part, but LTE is not working. I see some ambiguous mention of LTE working, but it's unclear to me if it means it's supposed to be working or the fix is in progress. If you already have an idea about how to get LTE working, please share. I'm using TMO's free 200mb. The device is 64GB HDX (thor).

Oh, and one more thing, is there a recommended gapps for this ROM? I found "gapps-lp-20150222-signed" online, but I'd like to know if there's one that is recommended for this particular ROM. Thank you.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
Pretty sure LTE isn't working and isn't a priority
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
OK. Thanks for clarifying. The OP says it should or will work, so it wasn't very clear if it was supposed to be functional or could be made so somehow.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
As far as I know the developers don't have the LTE models, so all they could do was hope the changes worked, which they don't. I say it's not a priority because they are trying to make cm11 and 12 official, and that means sticking to the models without a radio (since they are far more popular)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
There isn't one clear answer. As murso74 mentioned, the developers have obviously made some efforts to support mobile data, but the consensus is pretty spread out (i.e. works for some, doesn't work for others).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
There are people that have working LTE with this ROM???
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
I think they have data working, not LTE?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
One more issue: I don't know whether Thor has built-in vibration since I never used the tablet before last week; however, there are lots of vibration settings under Settings > Notifications which may also be removed in case there isn't vibe mode.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
No tactile feedback mechanism on any HDX model. That said, I would not be an advocate of removing such settings as it further customizes the code and complicates future updates.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
I'd like to hear from people that actually have that working. On my device, it can't connect to my cellular data period (no server, no nothing). I'm using TMO.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] fxroid:

Hi,

LTE is working on appolo cm11, we added this changes to thor cm12 and we tough it would work. As mentioned we do not own an Thor LTE device so its hard for us. If someone wants to make me a gift and send me one then it will be easier [emoji14]
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DQEight:
I'm not clear on this, If My HDX (thor) has TWRP does it mean the bootloader is unlocked?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
Does it only happen for me? I'm abroad these days, using a lot of different hotspots throughout the country. When connecting to a new wifi network, it happens that I have to authenticate on a specific landing page first. It is therefore ok not to display the regular wifi-connected icon in the notification tray, but the other one with an exclamation mark next to it instead.

However, when I am signed in, the "!" won't go away. It even happens that my HDX denies an autoconnection try by accusing the wifi network as unreliable Internet connection. I have deactivated the respective setting under Settings-> Wifi ... so why does it come up?

Since this is my first Nightly, I can't tell whether it's new behaviour ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I have observed this type of weirdness on various android devices - some running CM11, others a custom carrier build. It seems to be hotspot dependent. I have had some success by deleting relevant WiFi profiles; sometimes a reboot helps. However, some hotspots track clients by MacID and won't shed previous assumptions about your prior connection attempts even if invalid. Have also observed on Windows albeit not as frequently (nor do I connect to as many hotspots with Windows).

That said, it could also be something specific with the latest nightly. I'm not running CM12 at present (sorry).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
What was the reason LTE/data was not working and what did you change in it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] murso74:
I believe what they are saying is that lte was working on the Apollo ROM, but when they used those changes for the Thor ROM they didn't work
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] zswielder:
I know that. My question is asking what they did that fixed it on Apollo, which could provide clues as to a possible fix for Thor.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
Had one random reboot so far. Otherwise the system performs rock-stable.

Is there anything planned such as official CM-support? And what are our devs currently working on?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kudoz83:
No mate, neither of the CM11 or CM12.1 builds can be installed via SafeStrap. You need to be using TWRP for these builds.

Find out your software version first to see if you can install TWRP or if you'll need to stay on SafeStrap

Amazon apps + CM12.1/Thor

Hi all,

I just encountered an issue installing an app I got from the Amazon App store. It appears that either Amazon App store installer (or the app itself) is explicitly looking for paths "/storage/emulated/0" and this path does not exist (or doesn't on my install). I discovered this watching logcat .

I/PackageManager( 892): Continuing with installation of file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/files/apks/6055ef21-8af3-4074-9c2c-82a86dfdd4d5.apk

The fix is easy:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /

cd /storage/emulated

ln -s legacy 0

exit

Now, this will not survive a reboot and will have to be in a patch so you'll have to remember to reapply on apps that fail to install. Hope this helps someone.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Unless it's an older model (2013 release with 2.2GHz processor; firmware at/below 14.3.2.6) you can't install any CM variant. If you device does satisfy the basic requirements then there is a ton of work involved before you can flash a different ROM. None of it is for the faint of heart and several steps carry significant risk that can lead to an unrecoverable (bricked) device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] neoroid:
Thank you, I already have some experience now, I did flash CM12 to a HD model with success and everything was fine until I did flash FFF to it and got it bricked for real... but since I have a HDX model and I love how smooth it is, I would like to experiment installing CM12 to it... it is 3r generation 8.9" I didn't read all the thread around here about this model to know if it possible or not as I got no time, but I will probably next week focus on this, as I really love how fast this tablet is alreay with Amazon OS and I imagine with CM12 it will be just amazing.

if anyone can throw some links on how to do this, I still didn't root it yet but I will... Thanks.

CM for Apollo <= 14.3.2.6

Hi folks,

I've got an apollo tablet 2013 wifi-only version.

I began the downgrade procedure from 3.2.6 firmware .. the target is to reach the 3.2.3 version, so I can flash a TWRP recovery and/or unlock the bootloader

Now I'm on 3.0.0 firmware

My questions are: there's a rollout/release date for the apollo CM 12.1? If there's no date yet, once I complete the procedure above, can I flash at least the CM 11?

thanks a lot in advance for any reply
