Its working now... Sorry....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] cshuangyi82:
It works! Thx a lot

After a while working on get the fastboot/adb driver to be installed and connected to PC, bootloader 14.3.2.3 / TWRP 2.8.7 was ready and unlocking successed. It finally works! 4.0.2 on hdx 8.9 is great and more beautiful than 2.0.5. The animation is smooth too. Thanks!

What guide do you recommend to unlock your bootloader on 3.2.1? I'm looking to upgrade Nexus HDX to 4.0.2, but I can't seem to figure out a guide to unlock my bootloader. I did find one that is understandable, but which one did you use?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Andersenep:
I felt the same confusion. It really is quite simple, although it might not appear that way. Follow this post:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Same guide I recommend. Do you have TWRP installed? If no do that first and make sure your bootloader is at 3.2.3.2 before proceeding. Some folks (whose opinions I deeply respect) recommend unlocking before installing twrp but I feel getting some form of recovery in place takes precedence. Your call. Also take a look at this post for additional tips/hints.

Reading and the HDX forums in general are your friend. Do your homework before posting questions. No one likes to repeat what has already been said. Go slow and understand both procedure and expected outcomes before taking action. Don't panic if something goes wrong. Lots of folks willing to help should you run into difficulty.

If you find bootloader unlocking is not your cup-of-tea you can take a different path: upgrade to 4.5.2, install Safestrap v4 and then flash either Nexus v4 or CM11. However, if you go that route you will loose the ability to unlock your bootloader at a future time.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
This has not been my experience. I wanted to check on a couple devices before responding. Both bootloaders are unlocked so can't completely duplicate your config. Obviously situation is real for you but not sure it can be pinned on the Nexus v4.0.2 build.

Don't forget to post in bug section if you have not done so already.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gog08:
Hi, is it possible in this ROM to move the navbar to the right side, like in the Fire OS? Maybe there is an app, that can do this?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Try phab7 (Xposed module).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] djclark25:
I posted it in the bug section this morning with a bit more detail.

Some apps work fine, other fc settings. Doesn't matter if system app or user app.

Settings, es file Explorer, BBC news, chrome cast, eBay, hangouts, playstore are some that fc under location

BBC weather, argos, shpock, boat browser, Gumtree all work OK.

Also if I swipe to the side it fc's when it gets to the media tab without the app list loading
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Thanks. Tried a few of the apps you mentioned (I don't have them all) but did not encounter any issues. Ditto for swipping to media tab. Obviously something is different between devices. Possibly bootloader lock state, more likely small deltas in installed apps, settings, etc. Tough one to debug.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] I flashed this ROM a couple hours ago on my KFHDX 7 and love it. It's running smooth and everything is good. I hope you get the LTE bug fixed then this ROM will be awesome. Keep up the great work [emoji41]

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kudoz83:
Out of curiosity mate, are you doing everything afresh? Or are some of the apps restored backups?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] djclark25:
I thought you might of got it there as I did restore some apps via Titanium and some were fresh but looking at the apps I posted, it is a mixture of restored and fresh.

Also the settings app wouldnt of been a restore, I never restore any system settings, only user apps.

Ive never used App ops before and I thought I would give it a go so its not a major biggie that this doesnt work but i can try a wipe and fresh install and see if that resolves it
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kudoz83:
Yeah, it might not be the cause but always something to consider.

Funnily enough I've owned titanium for years but I almost never use it as I almost always flash anger install from scratch every time I change a ROM in any device, lol. I'm a bit ocd it seems, haha

Might be a dumb question but does anyone know how to get YouTube to play over 1080p in the app?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Take a peek at this (just skim):

www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2ic1zp/google_took_away_1080p_option_on_the_youtube_app/

Take always:

- different people have different experiences

- ads seem to play a role (although probably more speculation than fact)

- reinstalling YouTube app helped for some

Bottom line: Google probably has some flaky code in the app that is misinterpreting when 1080p or greater should be offered.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Try uninstalling/reinstalling GAPPS. Alternatively, install a different browser which may help you isolate the problem. Hopefully you did the recommended 'factory reset' after flashing Nexus. Seen some weird behavior when that step is skipped.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] techmanc:
I installed the ROM last night and still learning the differences between a real android tablet and the amazon ones.

I installed GAPPS and it does not work like my android phones where I need to d/l each app individually it wont auto d/l them all and I have a lot of apps. Is that the limitation of using the GAPPS play store and any other limitations I should know about?

Can I use Titiaum Backup to back and restore apps? Its not working.

If not how to make backups just with using SafeStrap? I hope there's a way to backup individual programs and data.

My whole thing with buying my Kindle Fire HDX 7 was to root and ROM it and use it like my other android Rooted devices.

Does Nova Prime Launcher work same as my android phone?

If I cant get help here where should I post these questions?

Still to new to decide if I will sell this tablet for another pure android device. TIA!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Google Play store works the same as on other devices. Multiple downloads w/o user intervention work fine with this rom (and every other custom rom for hdx). I have seen Google Play behave this way on occasion regardless of device. Seems to fix itself; I never pursued root cause.

The backup function in Safestrap (actually TWRP) creates a nandroid image. Just like any other recovery environment. The option is located under (wait for it..) 'Backup'. It does not backup individual applications although there are tools for exacting individual components from a nandroid image.

Nova works fine; it is my default launcher on multiple HD/HDX devices. Aside from form factor and obvious hardware differences (eg: gps, cameras, otg) a Kindle with Nexus HDX will be a very close facsimile to a Nexus 7 tablet. If you do not like Google's implementation of Android on a pure Nexus tablet then you won't like it on an HDX either. If you purchased a HDX with the expectation you could easily install other ROMs then you didn't do your homework. Until recently any ROM other than FireOS was out of the question.

Others have reported Titanium Backup works. I don't use it. There may be some differences/limitations due to Safestrap.

Keep in mind you are running Nexus 7 in psudo-virtual environment (Safestrap) as ROMs can not be installed natively on a HDX with a locked bootloader (you do not have the option to unlock your bootloader). It works amazing well considering the complexities involved. If you go looking for problems you will find them just like on any other portable device whether it be from Amazon, Apple, Google or Samsung.

My recommendation is to put the device in a drawer for a few days an look at it with a fresh set if eyes. If it still 'sucks' return it while you have the chance.

I had to reinstall KingRoot as somehow I lost my root. It seems to have its own SU function as was mentioned by TB when I ran it that was better to use SuperSU. My question is is my setup good as it is or do I need to install SuperSU which I already tried to see what would happen but the install failed. TIA!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Unfamiliarity with the tool bundled with kingroot suggests you may want to consider switching to SuperSU. Aside from integrity and security concerns most documentation and troubleshooting guides on XDA assume SuperSU.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] techmanc:
Kingroot is the only root I know that works for me the other root mentioned

I tried was his from other post ROOT METHOD #1) cve20147911. and it did not work and di not see any other roots to use as of now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Although this doesn't dignify a response I will state for others benefit that the Dolby add-on makes a significant difference in audio output characteristics. You may or may not like the effects (which are customizable) but I find them pleasing even if reproduction is technically less accurate.

Not sure a Dolby flash should be baked into the Nexus rom. Ggow has stripped out several 'stock' components presumably to keep the build focused on core functionality. Dolby probably falls into the 'add it if you want it' category. Thanks to [MENTION=5196444]hecbigcat[/MENTION] for posting links to compatible components (here).

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

SuperSU is not a root method. It's a tool for managing access to root capability once it has been obtained. You should be able to flash SuperSU from within Safestrap or install it from the Play Store. You can stick with the manager bundled with Kingroot if you are comfortable with it. I wouldn't ... but that's just me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] techmanc:
I appreciate your answer but in order to use a different Root I need to know what I can use so can you help me with that then I see about using the SuperSU with it I have that installed now but it wont work. I was stuck with no root once I flashed and now I seem to be stuck with KingRoot which is not recommended root so what root should I use?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I have no idea why you lost root on your last attempt to install SuperSu (which is not a root method). Leave it alone for now until you get the rest of the pieces in place. You'll know when the time is right.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] techmanc:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Nope. Nothing to do w/ROM. HDX devices before Saturn (all 7" models and most 8.9" variants) do not support OTG capability at the hardware level which is required for any USB capability beyond charging and host interaction.

Will this work on the 4th Gen HDX8.9 with TMO LTE and Wireless?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
LTE support is targeted for the next release of Nexus HDX (v4.0.3) which should come out later this week. Whether it works with TMO is undetermined. The bigger issue is getting a 4th Gen device rooted and back to a version of FireOS (4.5.2) that supports the installation of Safestrap v4. Neither is possible at the moment unless you happen to be on 4.5.2 now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] chargedbird:
well I installed Safestrap v4, it did install with no worries, its rooted, and I am running 4.5.3. I will wait for the release of the Nexus.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Not surprised Safestrap v4 installed under 4.5.3. Whether it is a stable config is another matter. The Safestrap v4 dev will likely weigh in if there are known issues.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] chargedbird:
Safestap did install, however when I boot to recovery, well its just boots up in the normal way, so the answer is NO..... guess I need to wait.....

- Safestrap as it stands won't work for the Saturn device. The Kernel is different beast altogether.

- A new version of nexus rom will also need to be created too as the binary blobs are different too.

- I have plans to port nexus rom to Saturn device and the required version of safestrap

- The port will be based off whatever the latest version of stock firmware that can be rooted.

- I have messaged the new device forum here on xda but have not had a response yet. Need the Saturn stuff in at least a new development forum that can be kept separate from the 3rd gen hdx device.

- [MENTION=2463156]wildgunman[/MENTION] said he would help test at some risk. I would be developing safestrap blindly as I don't have the device.

Some problems

Hi,

i got a Kindle Fire HDX 7" and installing with safestrap only works on a Rom Slot, not on the Stock Slot.

On the Stock Slot i just get the "Balls flying around" screen and it never ends to boot.

On a custom slot it works without problems and boots very fast, but no Wifi :(

With Safestrap (bug?), non working wifi on Rom Slots (That really sucks) i can't get wifi working, and i can't use the rom.

Would be great if anyone has an advice for me or at least can confirm the same Problem.

Another question is how can i access files i pushed on a rom slot image via safestrap file manager?

I can only find files from stock rom there.

And also, when i installed to the Stock Rom, how can i change the Size of the Stock Rom Partition ?

It says 5gb left and i want to make custom rom (in the stock rom partition) as big as possible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Assume you are using Safestrap v4 and flashed Nexus v4.02. Likely reason Nexus v4 didn't boot in stock slot is failure to perform a 'factory reset' after flashing as recommended in the OP. Sometimes a full wipe is needed although dev can't explain why that sometimes works as a factory reset should be sufficient. Chalk it up to Kindle/HDX weirdness.

Suggested path forward:

- download Nexus v4, gapps and SuperSU from here; save in a folder under 'internal storage'. Don't skip this step!

- start Safestrap recovery; delete all secondary slots (useless until Wifi issue is fixed)

- use advanced wipe on stock slot to clear all partitions (system, data, cache, dalvik)

- flash Nexus 4.0.2, gapps and supersu to stock slot

- perform 'factory reset' immediately after flashing by returning to 'wipe' menu and swiping slider at bottom (says 'factory reset')

- reboot and enjoy Nexus

Regarding your other questions:

- don't mess with secondary slots for now due to wifi issue (file manager question)

- stock slot will utilize all available storage if no secondary slots are created

My boot loader is locked have twrp installed running nexus 4.2 can I install safe strap and then install nexus 4.4 to stock slot? And if so what version safe strap do I need to install
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cl4ncy:
If you have TWRP installed it would be better to unlock your bootloader and just Flash this ROM then.

Because this Nexus ROM requires Safestrap v4, which needs 4.5.2 to be installed, but if you're on TWRP I'd stay with it, and just unlock the bootloader. Any reason why you don't (want to?) unlock the bootloader?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ja49902:
Have not been able to find a clear concise set of directions that I'm comfortable with yet for how to unlock with only a windows pc this is all fairly new ground to me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cl4ncy:
Ok, the unlock procedure is described here - it's actually easier than it seems to be. You just need to install the software mentioned, fastboot, adb & adb drivers, and follow the steps correctly.

If you get stuck at the fastboot prompt with "Waiting for device" and "Ready" on the HDX, you need to install the correct adb drivers (check device manager, the HDX is probably with a yellow exclamation mark there).

If you're unsure, ask first before you do anything funny. ;)
