Hi,

i can confirm, that mobile data does not work with 2015/07/25 build, but does work with build from 2015/07/26

regards,

macfly.

Same here. We're all set again :)

Thanks ggow for your great work!

Btw: is it possible to include LTE button in the notification drawer's shortcut bar's items? There is only the differentiation possible between 2G and 3G networks; my other cyanogenmod mobile (LG) allows for an additional LTE button here, though.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
Since it is not possible to submit bugs under "Bug reports" I'll post it here.

This rom suffers from the same issue as The Nexus 4.4.4 rom. The mobile and wifi connections die when the tablet enters deepsleep.

Only way to get a working wifi and mobile connection again is by rebooting the tablet. I do not have any logs as running logcat will prevent deepsleep.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] W99DEY:
How come you can install this ROM in slot 1 within safestrap 4.01 and get WiFi, but the Nexus ROM 4.4.4 needs to be installed in the Slot 0?

Also, does this ROM come with the Trebuchet Launcher? If not is there an .apk file available for the launcher compatible with 4.4.4? Cheers
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
- To be honest I didn't even know this worked in slot 1.

- I just assumed that because it didn't work with nexus v4 it wouldn't work with cm-11

- CM-11 comes with Trebuchet Launcher
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] W99DEY:
Is it possible to extract the Trebucet Launcher apk from the CM11 Rom to use in the Nexus one?

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

What is the best way to try this?

Wipe System + Caches, then install + Gapps + Super Su?

Don't particularly want to Wipe Data as I would then have to reinstall all my downloaded apps from the store....

Or can it be dirty flashed?

Cheers.

Never tried to, so don't know.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I do not experience this problem on several 3rd gen wifi only devices. Both wifi radio and connection restore fine (and quickly) upon waking from deep sleep. The radio chipsets may be different on LTE equipped devices so results may not be comparable. The only time I need to restart to restore radios was on an early version of FireOS which Amazon addressed via firmware update. Same physical devices.

While I agree Google's native launcher leaves much to be desired I would encourage you to try Apex or Nexus before munging your new build with a launcher that was not designed to be used outside Cyanogen. Just asking for trouble IMO.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
Yup, it did not happen on the 402 version (on Thor Wifi+LTE), it has been introduced with the LTE fixes (4.0.3 B2).

If I'm running 402 where LTE is not working, Wifi recovers perfect from a deepsleep - but now that LTE is working, it's crashing along with LTE.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Confirmed - wifi enables and connects with CM11 (20150709 build) in slot 1. This offers some interesting possibilities for those who want to retain FireOS v4 for certain Amazon features that are restricted to Fire/FireOS devices (eg: Kindle book sharing; downloading prime video) while having access to the full Google Play suite of services apps via CM11. Similar to the scenerio that could be acheived with Safestrap v3, Nexus and FireOS v3.

Tip-of-the-hat to [MENTION=1848099]W99DEY[/MENTION] for flushing this out. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Fearing a head-butt inversion on the initial test I did a full wipe on a secondary device, reinstalled Safestrap v4 and loaded CM11 B20150726 (latest build) into a secondary slot. Sure enough wifi enabled and connected. I repeated the same exercise with Nexus 4.0.5 - no wifi/no joy. Both outcomes were expected.

While I still prefer Nexus+Xposed over CM11 I can definitely see the latter becoming a popular option for reasons previously stated. Especially on devices with more storage (ideally 32GB+). FireOS has its pluses, especially for those deeply invested in the Amazon ecosystem.

ADB functionality is still gone for me in the latest build. Did a dirty flash, just in case you need that info
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Works for me. Dirty flashed b20150726 to stock slot. Wiped dalvik and cache before rebooting.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
Okay, can confirm ADB functionality after a clean install

How can I fix network on 3G? (not detecting automatically)

I used my kindle as '3g' only. I could set it on cm11 07/09 ver.. I read a change log of 07/26 ver. however It said that I can't choose network mode anymore. Is there any way to activate network setting mode again(fixed to 3g)? or will a network setting app(for example: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network) work for cm11, hdx? I'd like to install new version, but I'm afraid that 'Invalid sim' or 'serching' message will show again on status bar.

Thx.

GPS (geolocation)

Now that ADB is working, should I submit a bug report that GPS (I mean the location system) does not work?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
Unfortunately, the latest build has not solved the problem of auto-LTE to the network. after a while the device loses network and you can not reconnect.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
LTE seems problematic on all non-FireOS builds (Nexus or CMxx). Since CM11 has been shown to work in a secondary slot in Safestrap v4 you may want to consider restoring FireOS 4.5.2 to the primary/stock slot for LTE connectivity. I realize this is far from ideal but it seems unlikely a bullet-proof solution for other roms will materialize anytime soon.

If you to pursue restoring 4.5.2 you must build or use one from here or risk unpleasent outcomes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] johim:
Is it just me, or the flash for the camera app does not activate? Also, I tried the torch widget and it doesnt work as well. But installing Torch app from play store and it activates the flash. I'm on latest CM build.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Others have reported this. Not sure there is an easy solution without tearing into cm11.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] goon-heaven:
1st post. Thanks to the excellent development projects and an active helpful forum, I was encouraged to buy an HDX 7 LTE on special offer, with the intention of using it as a sat-nav (bluetooth to external gps) with internet connection for traffic services, to replace an aging TECA U6.

Currently HDX has unlocked bootloader, TWRP, Nexus ROM, Tomtom. That works very nicely with a great display but am unable to connect to internet, which leads me read here and this bad news here. Sat-nav without traffic services does not meet my raison d'être for the HDX. Tomtom is unavailable on Amazon. Locked-In Fire OS does not lit my Fire.

Without reliable in-car internet, I seem to be boxed in by unpalatables. Can anyone suggest a solution, other than returning device to Amazon?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] johim:
Not sure if I follow correctly, but why not simply get a 3G usb or battery powered device and wifi out the internet to your HDX?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] W99DEY:
Ie tether it to your phone?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Be aware 3rd Gen HDX devices do not support OTG (hardware limitation) which rules out a 3G dongle and most forms of tethering. A WiFi enabled 3G hotspot is an interesting option albeit at a cost - both for the device and potential carrier surcharges.

As you may be aware LTE models have embedded GPS capability ('chip'). Unfortunately, it has proven unreliable for mobile navigation. Seems more suited to capturing static location which makes sense given the intent of this device (shopping portal).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] goon-heaven:
Thank you all for your helpful comments.

The BT GPS device is excellent, gets left in the car, is very fast at (re-)acquiring location, so no acquisition delay when setting off.

Seems like most UK/EU PAYG 3G deals do not permit tethering.

Can anyone tell me how that works out in practice with a 3G/wifi hotspot?

My instinct says return HDX and look for a 7" phone. Shame because HDX is fast and has excellent display.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] johim:
Yep, I was talking about wifi enabled 3g devices (they usually are free with your data sim from your provider - or some low price to get on contract)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] masterchop:
Just comming back to report that this ROM is the ****!!! haha works very well, Cudos!! to the dev. very well done.

No issues so far everything worked as expected.

Waiting for the lollipop version.

The only thing i havent test is the SIM CARD but it should work base on the current status :) thanks again!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
Hi, just wanted to inquire - do you have an LTE 7in Kindle HDX running CM-11? If so, does your GPS work? Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] goon-heaven:
I had an LTE 7" Kindle HDX running HDX Nexus v4.0.5 rom bluetoothed with external GPS. (Internal GPS did not show, but that was not a requirement). I was unable to get an internet connection, so I looked at this thread with a view to installing CM11 and read Davey126's comments on LTE connectivity above. Have returned HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] shawly:
With stock FireOS I just lose about 5-10% maximum per night, if I don't touch it for a whole week it still has 15% battery left..

But I installed CM11 on my Thor yesterday, today I looked at the battery and I lost 30% in just one night?! With that heavy drain I have to switch back to stock..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
Switch off wifi when the screen is off. (Wifi settings)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] shawly:
Lol that is not an option, I also have wifi enabled on stock firmware and it doesn't drain that much.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tb205gti:
It's your only option, select it under wifi options. If not - live with the battery drain or hope the developer will continue to work on this rom, and not leave it as it is now. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] shawly:
That is indeed very inconvenient, hopefully the dev will fix this issue.. Does HDX Nexus have the same kind of problem? (Couldn't try it out because wifi isn't working, to get it to work I'd have to flash it as stock rom, but I don't really wanna do that..)

I hate Amazon for making their FireOS so damn restrictive, I can't even turn off the ****ty app slider on the main screen or change the lockscreen background and because I can't set my Google account in the settings I can't even use apps like Chrome to Phone etc. which is so annoying and also some apps have incompatibility with fullscreen..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I loose <2% overnight (WiFi off) with Nexus v4 and see similar results on cm11. It's applications eating your battery not the ROM.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] shawly:
Lol there is no way it's the applications because I didn't install any applications, because I wanted to test the battery life on a clean installation of CM11. You also said you turned wifi off, so it's definetly the wifi that is sucking out my battery.

And in order to use HDX Nexus I'd have to install it to the stock rom slot, because wifi doesn't work if I install it on a secondary rom-slot, atleast that's what someone in the HDX Nexus thread said.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] neverborn:
I had very bad battery drain when i first installed cm11 as well (no apps yet at the time) - that was on a secondary slot. However, when i took a backup of that slot and restored to the default one, the drain (rather mysteriously) went away. I have all my apps set up now, but battery life still rocks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Stock slot is correct for Safestrap v4 and Nexus. I turn off WiFi at night as I don't need mail/notifications/etc. while sleeping. Draw down rate on Nexus v4 while sleeping and WiFi on is 1-2% per hour vs ~2% over 6-8 hrs when off. Battery age matters; mine is mid-range with 150-200 full discharge/recharge cycles. HDX 7".

An important difference is I run Nexus/CM11 natively vs under Safestrap. I have limited experience with SS v4 but didn't notice excessive battery drain - but didn't test for it either.

Grab a battery monitoring app such as GSam to see where the real drain is happening. Could be WiFi; no one else has reported that. Ignore cell stats, they are bogus unless you have LTD model. Also noticed your draw on Nexus is pretty high. Something isn't right...

If you mean overnight
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] shawly:
There was no f***ing need to turn it off, since the battery held for more than a week on FireOS without turning it off.

So I should turn it off now since I got a custom rom on it? Yeah great advice. :good: Best support 11/10 - IGN

Is there a solution for this??
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] davekaz:
Im sorry for my crappy advice but Im so grateful for all the developers,especially ggow who is making this tablet relevant again..The battery on this tab was always great compared to others and now that it is unlocked with twrp its the best. I shut mine off at night and during the day it holds a charge great. Ive used every rom there is .Was using Nexus v405 and loved it but google updated it services and it so said services stared crashing every 2 seconds and made it unusable..I went to Cm12.1 and loved it but missed my nexus for bluetooth does not play nice on Cm12.. Sorry again for the way I worded my advice for it was late and my filter was asleep. I just appreciate all that is being done for this excellent tab and battery life is good .if your running safestrap you should be able to unlock bootloader..Anyone chime in if this is incorrect..I was told that if you dont run in stock slot within safestrap that battery is not as good as stock..as well as phones running the same. sorry again
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Some points to consider

- The Safestrap series of ROM's all use the stock 4.5.2 kernel and stock ramdisk

- There are differences in the way stock FireOS handles the hsic control of BT and WiFi

- Because we can't modify the ramdisk on these ROM's I can't control the handling of BT and WiFi the way I should or want to

- The Safestrap series of ROM's will probably always have this limitation on battery management as essentially it is a hack (an excellent one).

- On a very positive note, because of Safestrap and the ROM's we can say bye bye to FireOS even on a locked bootloader

- I did these ROM's for one reason, and that was to help out those with bootloaders that can't be unlocked.

- Now potentially everyone can run a custom/hacked ROM.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] djclark25:
Yes very good points. It's a miracle you managed to get safestrap and nexus rom working at all on the hdx so people should just be extremely happy with the results we have. I for one, am extremely happy with the hard work you have done and if all someone has to do to get the best out of this device is charge it a bit more often, then that is a Very small price to pay!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Stuff happens; we all loose it once in awhile. I think the positive sentiments regarding HDX devs, the doors they have opened and the quality of HDX roms is widely shared. Many frustrations are rooted in the crippling limitations Amazon imposed on aosp and at the hardware level. Amazing anything other than FireOS runs on these devices at all.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] W99DEY:
Going back to your dismay Davey and Clancy, why I didn't unlock the boatloader..... I find CM11 works flawlessly with my device... Hardly drops charge.... I have had a previous HD7 with cm11 on, that worked great, until the battery got tired and shut down at 25%. I have an s4, that works to an extent with 12.1 and a 1+1 that works flawlessly..... I guess I bottled out and settled for safestap as I didn't want to risk bricking the device when unlocking the bootloader. Am more than happy with it, as I only check emails, read books and use Firefox.... Works a treat. :) I could have unlocked, but because my s4 had issues with 12.1, chose the easy safe route.....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cl4ncy:
Well, I'd considered unlocking and using CM11 the easy safe route. ;)

I mean you are aware of the fact you could've used this ROM with an unlocked bootloader as well, but TWRP and an unlocked bootloader would've given the better recovery and safety options by far? :confused:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] W99DEY:
Yes..... Just seemed a big faff on to do, compared to unlocking the bootloader on my phones......
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cl4ncy:
Well, I've said it before, and I'll say it again - it's actually easier than you think. ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
- Agreed, using the bootloader sequence carries little to no risk because even if you flash the wrong unlock code there are no negative effects. Just try again :)

Well crap.. I accidentally flashed this on Safestrap 3.75 and now I'm hitting a bootloop and it's not giving me the safestrap menu to load my recovery. Is there no way for me to get back to safestrap? Am I bricked?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Unfortunately, you are probably done. Even with ADB access I can not think of a remediation that would restore Safestrap v3 functionality without a working rom. You can not replace/repair your current OS via ADB or fastboot with a locked bootloader. Do you recall what version of FireOS was on the device when Safestrap was first installed?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Jabbernaut:
I figured. I was shocked and baffled when I wasn't getting the safestrap boot menu at startup, I didn't realize I was at risk of that happening with safestrap installed. I had rolled back to 3.2.8 and had towelrooted it. I think I had been referring to some out-of-date material that said that support for safestrap was dropped at 3.75 and it didn't work with the 4.0+ firmwares so I had installed 3.75 on 3.2.8, backed up my stock and flashed this.

I believe I do still have ADB access but yeah without a working OS I imagine there's nothing I can do here. Lesson learned I guess. :s
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Sorry for your loss. Although irrelevant now the original Safestrap developer discontinued support after v3.75 (so what you read was accurate). [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] subsequently created a modified version compatible with FireOS v4 on HDX and Fire Phone. The OP (and thread title) detail the prerequisites.

Stick your device on a shelf. Who knows - a future exploit may allow you to unlock the bootloader on 3.2.8 which is the path to recovery. Long shot at best but better than heaving into a trash bin.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Jabbernaut:
When hope is all you have left, there's really nothing else to do. :P Yeah I'm pretty pessimistic we'll get a bootloader unlock that works entirely over ADB, though I don't know a lot about the way these exploits work so it might not be impossible.

The loss was a bit lighter since I snagged the tab for $90 plus shipping on ebay. It was an as-is listing since it was having a software issue where it was unable to log in Amazon accounts so I was able to pick it up at a bargain. When it arrived it was in great shape, but it indeed could not log into any Amazon account for some reason, despite all of the hardware and wifi working properly. But yeah seemed like the perfect candidate to flash a custom ROM onto. Shame it didn't work out.

I'm assuming I no longer have root after flashing this rom, no? Honestly I haven't even confirmed that I have ADB access as I haven't had a need to use it up to this point and I don't have the android SDK installed on this computer.

Does anyone know anything about the nature of why I'm bootlooping to give insight on the state of the OS? Was it because I flashed it over 3.2.8 or because I flashed it on Safestrap 3.75?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
3.2.8 is Jellybean based while CM11 has KitKat roots. I believe Safestrap v3 also assumes a Jellybean underpinnings (could be wrong about that). My guess is flashing CM11 under Safestrap damaged/overwrote portions of the storage partition where Safestrap recovery runs. Your device is looking there to boot and not finding what it needs. If you are hung at the grey Kindle screen on power-up (no sign of Safestrap) little can be done with a locked bootloader. I would look through the link provided by [MENTION=5940066]EncryptedCurse[/MENTION] just in case.

what .zip of xposed would work best with this ROM on an HDX 7"? I know xposed isnt the most stable on CM ROMs, but I'm just looking to have it so I can get notifications from hibernated apps through greenify. I've been able to do this on another device with CM without any problems.

Thank you!!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Definitely want to use the KitKat (KK) version. I use Xposed with a slightly different cm11 variant (on first gen Fire HD) and have experienced few problems with the framework. Greenify also works well. GravityBox and similar tools have a bit of difficulty with various UI and low level functions but that's to be expected given CM isn't pure AOSP.

Edit: Be careful with power controls if running cm11 under safestrap. I have no examples of direct conflicts but could see issues with some functions such as 'soft' reboots. Obviously not a problem w/Greenify ... thinking of other modules.
