I installed cm 11 on my device with unlocked bootloader and TWRP. It runs comfortable, fast and with less battery drain. All my apps are running fine. Only Amazon Prime Video doesn't show pictures and Titanium Backup cannot save backups. Changing folder doesn't help. But Easy Backup works well.

For Amazon Video not showing pictures, do you plan to change build.prop (mentioned a page ago) for a forthcoming update?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
- Prime Video can be enabled by installing latest Underground app then following instructions when video playback is selected.

- I do not favor a default identity change in build.prop. Device is what it is, not a Nexus or some other phone/tablet. Individual users can make changes if they wish.

- Most compatibility issues with the Play Store can be addressed via sideloading or Market Helper.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] bbert:
Yes, I understand.

Prime Video streaming is working with a normal install, only the preview pictures don't show.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Yep - same issue on multiple devices w/custom roms. Kinda silly Amazon (content providers) impose such restrictions - intentionally or not.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] _Alex_:
Google was my friend when I encountered this one. This isnt specific to this ROM, Its a SuperSU setting, "mount namespace separation" needs to be disabled.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
To my regret, I have not got the correct operation of LTE on my device.

modem version in the settings indicates true!

APN profile appears and works correctly when installing the SIM card into the device. After a few minutes, APN settings and fading respectively communicate with the operator, too. If the SIM card distort everything is repeated. Work with intrnet no opportunity.

Screenshots attached.

Sorry for my English, I use Google translator.

Ready to provide any logs to solve the problem.

Thank you!

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I'll also make another release tomorrow, which will use the lastest amazon binaries and boot.img (4.5.5.1).

Then I can test my fixed up build process too.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] mkraus81:
ok... will wait for the tomorrow release

- I have reset the file links back to the previous release - gonna look into this now.

EDIT: Think I found the issue in surfaceflinger, will work out a fix and do another release once I've tested it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Linuspogo:
Hi,

I came from FireOS 4.5.5.1, and just installed the version that you uploaded half an hour ago (update from the February version). Is there any problem with this? Should I use the version that you will make tomorrow?

Thanks a lot!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
I would revert back to the February version. There is a bug causing random resets with the version I released half an hour ago. I am working on the issue now and will upload once I am happy the issue is resolved.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Linuspogo:
Yeah I saw your post, but I was referring to your announcement that you would make another build based on FireOS 4.5.5.1, and I was wondering what this means... If there was no bug, would it still make sense to change to the other version?

Edit: Maybe that's a stupid question, but so far I didn't notice any problems. A really short explanation would be fine. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Try rotating the screen about 3 or more times, that should reset the device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Linuspogo:
I tried, and so far I didn't experience a crash. I will keep this version for now, but update as soon as a new build is up.

A huge thanks again for your work, the Fire HDX is so much better with CM than FireOS! :)

GREAT man... I will wait :)

Regarding the intermittent reset issue.

Attached is a logcat, prior to the reset this is what I am seeing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
- Think I have narrowed the problem down to something Trebuchet Launcher related

- Don't think it's actually Trebuchet specific

- Problem can be consistently replicated on stock CM11 by rotating the device a few times then the reset occurs

- Installing another launcher like Apex or Google Now Launcher, the problem does not occur at all
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Looks like it's my thor device that is the problem. I tried some of the earliest builds and the same issue. My Apollo device seems fine.

I'll do another release today.

LTE does not seem to work on my Thor

Could potentially be a simcard problem, but it does see networks when I search for them, if that means anything
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kudoz83:
If it can see networks and get a signal, you likely need to edit or add appropriate APN settings mate (especially if you use a small or uncommon carrier)

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Hmm... just a quick thought... the guys over in the Amazone Fire Phone forums have root... which means they could extract the RIL libraries and baseband... maybe it's possible there are only minimal differences that could be identified and reconciled?

I'll ask one of them if they can extract the appropriate files and maybe I can take a look (though I'm not a coder and I sometimes read and identify issues, lol)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
I subscribe to the testing. LTE works, but after a short time, lost registration on the network. In the manual Reset form networks, the name of the operator sees, but can not connect.It does not save the APN settings. It helps only restart.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
I don't think it can get a signal, given that the signal bar is empty and it says "emergency calls only"
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Please post logs that capture when the issue is occurring and I'll take a look.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Mr.Nik:
I noticed if you read the APN settings through the operator, the LTE will work for a while time. Once the settings APN gone, the network is not possible to connect ... In the manual they may not enter.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] LittleGreenSony:
Really Good

Been testing it and performance is stellar. when I installed it I took a risk with dirty flashing over nexus and had no issues what so ever. other peoples results may vary.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krustyzy:
Hey glorious ROM-developers,

I am stunned by this great ROM so far. Have sacrificed the former LP-installation for good and will keep on using this ROM instead.

One question, really a minor one: could you please include Volume Rocker Wake within "Buttons" settings panel? That would be awesome!

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Good to hear your liking the ROM, I'll have a look at implementing the Volume Rocker Wake.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
I'm attaching a log file that I started right after booting. I am not getting a signal (it just says "Emergency calls only"). Also, the APN settings do not seem to be there anymore after restarting. I tried searching for network operators as well.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Thanks, will take a look.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
By the way I found another oddity. After restarting the APN settings don't seem to be there, but then reappear after a while..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
After rebooting, [MENTION=3283426]kudoz83[/MENTION] mentioned in his tests it can take a few minutes before acquiring a signal and then getting APN's.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lynx3:
I see. Well my problem then is that I'm not getting a signal even after my APN settings show up

I really appreciate your working!!!

I have been looking forward to using AOSP on my apollo LTE.

I've installed the ROM on the safestrap slot1(not a stock slot), WiFi is fine, 3G is fine(I'm not using LTE plan), most of app compatibility is fine, almost everything is fine(there's still chronic SIM identification problem, it's hardware problem so put it aside)

I have found some bugs on ROM, so I wanna report them.

1. With the latest version of Google Play Service, the (Google) Maps and the Google App is crashing. Maps and Google app said "Google play service update is needed" but when I do tjat maps and Google app is crashed.(I used the latest version of slim gapps for 4.4.4)

2. I think the CPU governor is fixed as "performance". I tried to change it at "CPU governor" menu in the "Performance", never changed.

3. After I entered "WiFi hotspot" menu, the hotspot on/off switch keep remaining on the upper right part of settings screen.

4. Front side/back side camera is reversed in Camera app. Also (back side) camera is taking pictures with 180 degrees rotated.(rotating problem is now solved. I don't know why but it okay now)

5. The LED is not working. At flashlight app,at camera app, the LED is not working.

6. The button reorientation function has problem. When I apply it, left or downside works as volume down, right or upside works as volume down. The orientation of button working is reversed compared with normal way.

#1 is the most problem.

Thank you again for your hard working.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
- I tested the ROM with this version of slim gapps: Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385.zip and everything seemed fine.

- Did you perform a factory reset after flashing?

- Thanks for the feedback, could you report these as separate entries in the bugs section. Otherwise I have hard time trying to keep track of issues against different projects.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Likesoft:
-I've tried these 3 versions but i've got all same results. maybe it's because of build.9 instead of build.8?

Slim-Addons-normal_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107

Slim-Addons-full_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107

Slim-Addons-mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107

-Using old version google play service which is from the slim gapps, there's no problem. but after update google play service from google play store to the latest version, the crash was started.

-I did factory reset every time after I installed gapps and rom.

-I will write down soon all bugs I've found on the bugs section.

Thank you ggow!

Could you try with HDX Nexus Gapps 2.1?

It's not a problem with the ROM - it's Google Play Services that is the faulty component.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Likesoft:
After I applied HDX Nexus Gapps 2.1, the Google Play Services problem has gone.

Maybe the Gapps and ROM has some compatablity issues.

I think you'd better recommend using HDX Nexus Gapps 2.1.

Anyway, Google Play services is really crap.

Too quick on the response; was thinking of another APV issue (apologies). Are you saying no images in the video catalog or elsewhere? Looks ok on a HDX w/Nexus but obviously not your build. What Amazon app/version? I'm using Underground but had to rollback to v6.2 due to instability (FC) on 6.3.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] cdub50:
There is a work around but requires renaming stuff in build.prop to trick app into thinking your are using amazon video app with a nexus device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] mkraus81:
Can you explain the workaround?

Step by Step? ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Yep - which is why I termed it a 'bug' as perceived device type should not matter. The video catalog isn't subject to drm so why get screamish about device type if Amazon allows the content? Silliness.

Understand the build.prop tweaks but not a fan as seems to come back to bite in one way or another. Obviously those familiar with the structure/variables/values and can recognize symptoms will sluff off the comment. Average 'joe' should stay away from this file imo unless aided by a tool like Market Helper which seems to have stopped working (achieving desired results). Not worth the risk.

Someone else have the problem with the missing thumbnails in the amazon video APP?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] julianporter5:
Yes I do. I'm wondering if I install the Nexus ROM will it work OK? How can I compare the two ROMs without installing both and playing?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
On Nexus if you access Amazon video through the Underground app thumbnails and other content display correctly. Launching the video app directly yields placeholders. I suspect the same holds true for CM11.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] julianporter5:
The placeholders are visible in the underground app allowing you to browse, but not in the video app.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
On CM11, correct? As noted in my previous post thumbnails display correctly from the Underground app on the latest build of Fire Nexus. Not confident this is ROM related; suspect dirty caches and app versions may come into play.

Hi,

I am running Safe strap 4.01 on a 3rd gen HDX 7. I have cyanogen 11 installed in Rom slot 1 and have poor battery life as detailed earlier in the thread.

I am trying to install cm -11-SAFESTRAP - 20160408 - UNOFFICIAL - thor.zip to the stock rom slot by activating the stock slot and then selecting install and selecting the rom from the internal storage. I get the following error if I have zip file sig verifaction checked -

E:zip signature verification failed : 1

If I deselect zip file sig verifaction i get this error -

Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset..

Any ideas. Do I have wipe the stock slot first?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Yes - wipe the stock slot. Keep slot 1 around as a fall back until CM in the stock slot is confirmed working.

Also suggest backing up contents of stock slot before overlaying with CM. You can (and should) delete Slot 1 once everything is working. The backup can be moved off-device or discarded.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] woomdawg:
I got safestrap install and can boot into that
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Questions:

- what model device do you have, 7" (thor) or 8.9" (apollo)?

- any personal data you need to retain?

- any special considerations regarding Google or other apps?

With that info I can guide you to the appropriate files and provide installation instructions.

Brick avoidance:

- never invoke functions from the stock recovery menu (bad outcomes)

- do not attempt to flash any rom that is not Safestrap safe (worse outcomes)

- always keep a copy of CM install zip on device for emergency recovery

root access in 20160206

I don't manage to get root access within the CM11. I have the developer options enabled, but the root setting is missing. Any advise on that?

Great Rom. Everything else is working fine for me, including LTE.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] woomdawg:
Can you tell me how to get root from within cm 11?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
--> Misinformation, see below.

I misfired on this one (sorry). A case of working with too many ROMs (including numerous CM variants) on several different devices. Guidance was generically correct but the native root manager has been removed from the CM build specific to this device.

To obtain root you will need to flash SuperSU from here (older build but known to work with this ROM). Simply boot into Safestrap recovery and flash SuperSU - nothing else is needed. Then reboot system. You may be ask to install binaries; follow the prompts (use 'normal' method).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kbs24:

I don't see any way out of this one.....I used safestrap 4 to install cm 11 on my Thor. Got message "success" on safestrap but now my hdx is stuck on the gray kindle fire logo. It will not boot, and the option to boot into recovery or continue is not coming up. So I can't get into safestrap to do a restore. Is there any other way to boot into safestrap? Like using hardware keys? Any thoughts would be so appreciated.

Agree with assessment. This type of failure is uncommon. Curious, did you use latest cm11 build from this thread?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kbs24:
Yes, I did. The first page of this thread had the download links and instructions. Maybe I misinterpreted "all variants of the 3rd generation kindle fire hdx". I was running 13.3.2.4, and now I notice that this rom was based on 4.5.5.1........was I supposed to update to 4.5.5.1 first? If so that would explain the failure.....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
FireOS 4.5.2 or 4.5.5.1 is a hard prerequisite for both Safestrap v4 and CM11. However, since your device was running a version of FireOS <3.2.8 prior to the brick you *may* be able to recover using following procedure:
