I don't see limitations for rear camera.

I see picture from camera, but if I press shot button I see error message that can not connect to camera. I try other apps and set other store locations. No success.

can not root after flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip and SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Yep - also had problems with the most recent SuperSU builds. I have since reverted back to v2.76 which was the last version released by ChainFire.

Try wiping system and then dirty flashing CM-13 + GAaps. Should restore native root. You can stick with the integrated root manager or try an earlier SuperSU build.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Do a search of this thread; several ideas to try with varying results:

- set a static IP

- disable 5GHz band on router

- disable Bluetooth radio (shares 2.4GHz band)

- utilize native CM root manager (uninstall SuperSU or downgrade to v2.76)

For other reasons I had to step away from CM-13 on this device. Been running CM 12.1 with Nova, Xposed, Greenify and Gravity box for several months; have yet to experience a WiFi issue. The above cocktail yields a build that is largely indistinguishable from CM-13.x in appearance and operation. Prior to that ran Fire Nexus/HDX Nexus with a similar cocktail for 18+ months on the same hardware. Would have stayed there too if not for app compatibility issues with KitKat. Sadly, lost Bluetooth going to Android 5/6. Point is you may want to try a different ROM if the WiFi disconnects become a burden. Good luck.

Gotta go back to Nexus/CM11 for reliable bluetooth. WiFi works fine on CM 12.1 and for most, CM13/AICP/Nexus6.

Having the same issue as MahmudS. Having updated (via adb sideload) with version cm-13.0-20161112-NIGHTLY-apollo hangs during reboot (with CM logo).

I did the following

What I did:

- full wipe (all 5 check boxes)

- adb sideloaded the version cm-13.0-20161112-NIGHTLY-apollo + checked wipes

- optional updated open_gapps-arm-6.0-mini-20161111 + SuperSU 2.78/SR3-SuperSU 2.78

I tried it couple of times, also with only updating the ROM.

What do you mean by Reboot device after full wipe? Reboot to where? Recovery, meaning TWRP, or system, which is not apparent after full wipe?

Edit1: Used TWRP version 3.0.0.0

Edit2: Just tried it with a version from February: cm-13.0-20160219-UNOFFICIAL-apollo, this one is running fine

Any other hints what I could try running the latest one?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Reboot to recovery.

Hum, would seem to be an issue with recent builds. One of the many reasons why I hate nightly updates for quiet devices. Unless someone is watching the hen house fox can slip in unnoticed. Glad you had an older version hanging around.

One of the HDX developers will need to address. Both involved with this rom have limited availability. Just have to be patient.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] MahmudS:
Have same result with this build and cm-13.0-20161113-NIGHTLY-apollo, but previous build works fine (cm-13.0-20161108-NIGHTLY-apollo)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
Is display auto-rotation working fine for you guys on Nov 8th nightly? It's not working for me at all. If an app (like Plex) forces display switch from portrait to landscape I can lock it there, but otherwise the auto-rotation doesn't work.

UPDATE: I've enabled all 4 ways of rotation in settings. Still, in the landscape mode it's camera at the bottom, not top. Kinda annoying. I'm wondering if it's just me not doing something right or is it a ROM defect?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Auto-rotation on HDX devices with custom ROMs is a perennial issue due to non-standard hardware and/or Amazon binaries. Developers are well aware and have struggled for solutions so I wouldn't quite call it a "defect". 180 degree landscape issues (ie: camera at bottom) are common.

A few remedies used individually or together can reduce the aggravation:

- try a custom launcher like Nova which has it's own rotation controls

- try Xposed modules HaveOwnOrientation (free) or OwnOrientation (paid) which restore full auto-rotation characteristics to apps that adopted a specific orientation or display 'incorrectly' on HDX devices

- assign the native auto/lock rotation control to a navbar key (via GravityBox or CM-13's native controls; eg: double-tap menu key) to prevent unwanted rotations before entering and/or while using an app
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Tomen8r:
I'm on 11/4 build with not too many issues. Turned network back to Lollipop mode after continuous dropping and that seems to work.

I thought rotation was an issue at first as I had to reboot to get it to rotate the first few times. But after playing with it I find if I simply rotate the tablet 360 degrees, one full turn, it finally goes from landscape to portrait. My auto rotate settings remain as they came with the build.

Other than that the only issue for me is network not waking up on its own, even using the lollipop settings in dev options.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
I've tried the Force Screen Rotation Mod as it came higher up in Xposed search results and it seems to be working fine. I miss the quick tile to switch the orientation 180 degrees with that mod tho.

I've also switched to n-network from ac-network and (knocking on wood) that seems to be more reliable.

I'm not very familiar with under the hood settings of CM, can you please elaborate on how you've achieved that?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Glad it's working for you. The implementation didn't quite meet my needs (prefer a more natural/transparent approach) but may give it another whirl based on your recommendation. Thanks for sharing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Tomen8r:
Go into Settings/Dev Options/Networking. Select use legacy DHCP client (lollipop).... Should be all set...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
Thanks, didn't realize it was DHCP-related. Thankfully, my HDX wifi seems pretty solid once I switched from ac-radio to n-radio. Maybe it has something to do with the regulatory domain information in the router's wifi driver, because I've had exactly opposite experience with the cheap chinese tablet before it died -- it didn't work well with the n-radio, but was rock-solid with the ac-radio.

Hey [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION], I understand it's a major undertaking to build Nougat-compatible ROM, but is it in the cards? Are you guys considering looking into it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Obviously both can speak for themselves; allow me to share what has been perviously posted. Ggow stated a Nougat build is planned (likely AOSP) at some point but life, job and family are keeping him busy at present. Have not heard from Hashcode recently.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] W99DEY:
This ROM is pretty stable... I am happy with this and the support as it is... Future builds put more strain on the device, we are already a couple of iterations over and above what it was designed for.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
+1 aside from a few edge cases. I rolled back to 12.1 due to notorious SIM selection bug (CM 13 problem; no reflection on HDX build) and have been quite happy. Toss in Xposed, Nova and Greenify and it s hard to distinguish from Marshmallow. Prior to that rock solid Fire Nexus was my daily driver for 18 months. Development resources are spread pretty thin lately; I since the heyday of rapid development, repair and refine has passed for this aging generation of Amazon devices.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
Maybe it's Cyanogen being finely tuned by the two devs, but my HDX feels *much* snappier than the much newer model (Teclast P80H) I've had before it died on me. It's little things I miss, like the quick panel improvements (and I'm sure there's an N-ify Xposed module for that, I haven't looked), but I hope HDX (especially 8.9) can benefit from multi-window and power usage improvements from Nougat.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Teclast might be chronologically newer but base specs pail in comparison to HDX. So yeah, I would expect the latter to be more responsive. I don't believe CM has been "tuned" for this device beyond wrestling with Amazon hardware weirdness.

Yep - there are several time proven Xposed modules that offer quick panel customization far exceeds what Google baked into Nougat. Greenify offers power improvements that parallel those in native 7.1. Those same capabilities have been available to KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow roms for some time; Google is playing catch-up again. Multi-window would be cool (especially on Apollo) as 3rd party solutions have generally been weak in this area.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] floschl:
is there already some adaptation work going on to get Nougat run for HDX?

I am a dev (working on the LTE physical layer) by myself. If you would have instructions how to set up the dev environment and the debugging, I could have a look into it and give it a shot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] therealisttruest:
Hi,

I don't think there is anything 'official' yet. I wandered into these forums a couple months ago after getting an Apollo device handed down to me and Ggow is the main developer historically from what I can tell and I'm grateful for his releases thus far. But he has other more important commitments right now so I don't think there is a timeline for a Nougat release from him. If you check the Git repos you'll see that there is some Cyanogenmod work being done for CM 14 and 14.1, but I don't know if/when that will be completed for Thor or Apollo.

I've also tried to get a build and as of yet haven't been successful fully. I got a kernel (based on Amazon 4.5.5.1 source) and AOSP to compile (including Amazon 4.5.5.1 binaries) with only a few issues but inevitably once I was able to flash boot.img and system.img it never booted. In fact trying to boot my kernel results in getting kicked into fastboot. Booting into either the one that came with the MM release or CM release got me a bit further but results in a black screen and eventual bootloop that sends me back to TWRP after the second loop. Admittedly, as I am an Analyst and Developer also, this skillset is new to me also and there has been a learning curve. The basic steps, until running into any trouble, that I followed were from Google to set up an env.

https://source.android.com/source/requirements.html

Debugging, well I can't speak for that as I haven't gotten too far there yet. Fastboot and adb have begun to get flaky so no logcat but I've been able to see some file context issues with other kernels showing up in dmesg using TWRP command line.

I bought a refurbished Fire HDX 7" with 64GB from amazon warehousedeals and received it today. FireOS ist 4.5.3 and now it is charging. What should I do to unlock the bootloader? I know how I can root it but I am not shure if I should go back to 13.3.2.8 or update via OTA.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] FidiS:
This worked for me: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-unlocking-bootloader-firmware-t3463982
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Assume your objective is to root and unlock the bootloader which opens the door to the full suite of custom ROMs available for this device. If accurate this is the most expeditious path:

- roll back to FireOS 13.3.2.8 (here)

- when the device restarts on 13.3.2.8:

- >> do not register device with Amazon <<

- >> immediately disable WiFi and engage Airplane/Flight mode <<

- root with TowelRoot (you'll need to enable WiFi briefly; 30 sec max)

- once rooted immediately reboot and verify WiFi remains OFF

- follow instructions in this thread to unlock the bootloader

- flash the ROM of your choice

The above is obviously an executive overview; there are many intermediate steps. The most important thing to remember is taking an OTA update while on 13.3.2.8 will permanently brick the device with no possibility for recovery. Review the links to determine if you have the background to perform the required tasks. If not it would be best to return the unit to Amazon. Ask questions as needed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
As a follow-up to the excellent advice above -- I was able to root my Kindle HDX 8.9 with Kingroot, without downgrading. Although I didn't check which FireOS version did it come with OOB.

As much as I'm not a fan of Kingroot, if you're going to wipe and reflash your tablet anyways, I figured it was safe.

Video recording by Google Camera application from OpenGapps is unavailable.

Thank you, I didn't know anything about /persist partition.

I've checked it but unfortunately this partition is available and it has a content inside it.

I'm not sure that I understand the procedure of restoration the /persist partition.

I've tried several ways to restore the stock firmware without any success: partition was never fully rewritten.

Also, I've tried the following: restored to 14.3.1.0 with Amazon recovery, removed all data from /persist, applied an update to 14.3.2.3.2.

/persist partition was not fully restored, only several useless files/folders have restored: data, model_update, reprov_data, reprov_log.

Also I've tried to restore /persist from /persistbackup, but the issue with rotation, brightness, (wifi) are still in place.

These features work fine under 14.3.2.3.2 and CM12.1.

Also on my 2nd device (HDX 8.9 3rd gen too) these features doesn't work too.

I've successfully enlarged my system partition with parted and mke2fs (1, 2), resized the system partition back after installation of CM13 by TWRP and I was able to install CM13 with stock-sized OpenGapps.

Shortly, if anybody is interested:

umount /data
umount /sdcard
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
unit MB
print
rm 22
rm 23
mkpart primary 1900 3400
mkpart primary 3400 15634
name 22 system
name 23 userdata
print
quit
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
reboot recovery

Resized the system partition back after installation of CM13 by TWRP but before installation of OpenGapps by an advanced wipe-repair-resize system partition feature in TWRP. If this fails, a "date" command in adb is required to be checked.

Recovery is almost a nice GNU/Linux, filesystem management is an old thing.
