Because of AudioFX issue I started to use ViPER4Android FX, see here https://kutep0v.github.io/ViPER4Android-FX/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
For those looking to squeeze out a bit more battery life check out the "Battery mode" options in settings. Efficiency works well for me with little performance impact. Typically see full activity drain rates <10% per hour on well enjoyed Thor with hundreds of full charge/discharge cycles. Caveats: I don't game on this pup and have made a few minor tweaks to kernel settings (tunables/scheduler) that further improve battery life. FWIW - screen off drain hovers below 0.1%/hr.

Obvious but often overlooked tip: the backlight on this (and many other high res) device is quite powerful. Even small adjustments in brightness level can have a big impact on consumption.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
This problem seems related to missing RIL support in current builds for this device (known limitation). Symptoms manifest as described above or an instant soft boot when any phone feature is used. Grr!! I have tried various build.prop tweaks, settings changes (eg: engage airplane mode the reenable WiFi), anything to convince apps the device does not have a mobile radio. So far no luck. About 20% of my apps believe HDX Thor with CM13 is a phone.

Given mobile (4G/LTE) support is likely a ways off would it be possible future builds for this device can exclude mobile radio components so apps think it is WiFi only? Frustrating, as the same app suite works fine on other Amazon devices and custom roms.

Hi [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] - I was wondering if you would be willing to answer some questions regarding the flashable atmos packages via PM. I am interested in what works well with this device and any sort of tweaks you may recommend as I highly respect your opinion on this device as one of the resident gurus. Thanks in advance....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Best to ask in the forums so others can benefit from the exchange. Last ATMOS package I flashed came from here
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
sounds good ;) near stock os sound. thanks for share

what os did you installed on your hdx? now i have 2 apollos ;) on on cm13 and one on cm12.1 tested nexus rom but i miss some important functions for me ;)

anyway nexus rom is most stable and better than amazon os
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
I have used all three. Nexus was my daily driver until quite recently and remains a personal favorite when combined with Xposed & GravityBox. Stable, lean, efficient. Now running CM13 which has proven impressive for the attributes that matter most to me (stability, refinement, battery life, compatibility). I do miss the flexibility offered in a AOSP clone like Nexus but needed to move beyond KitKit. While I enjoy thoroughly CM 12.1 on another device there is no compelling reason to favor it over CM 13. Doze + Greenify offer exceptional control over background app behavior without resorting to other tools.

N.B. Might take a peek at Adguard too. Improvement in overall user experience is significant (any device/rom) along with an approachable firewall to monitor app behavior. You will need to pony up for more advanced features; was an easy choice for me. Yes - there are free alternatives; none offer the same level of refinement IMHO. Goal is to minimize gizmo management and maximize enjoyment. :)

Have fun!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Looks like I will need to step away from CM13 and rollback to CM 12.1 due to the former's ridiculous lack of support for SIMless (WiFi only) devices. Most apps work fine on CM13 but those designed for exclusively phones (or try to guess if device is a phone or tablet) trigger a recursive "Select SIM Card" card prompt with no possible selections. Completely borks the foreground app. Cyanogen is aware of this issue but have not resourced a solution after several months and do not appear poised to do so. Demonstrates the dominance of cellular devices running CM13 as they are willing to essentially ignore a small segment of WiFi only devices.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
Not good as I see on cm13 are much more bug than on cm12.. On Projekt list camera is working. I can't get any photo front or rear doesn't work I used several apps all ways camera connection lost. How can I fix this?

Is there any developments on this device?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Development has slowed due to resource availability. At present all custom ROMs for this device (and several others) are supported by one highly talented individual with occasional help from other individuals. We'll just have to wait to see what develops. Pull back the lens; still amazing what has been done with this 'walled in' device despite the occasional glitch.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
yes of course, i hope we will find some devs here to speed up the development ;) fire hd 3 bootloader is unlocked too but no dev who will write scripts for cm11 oder 12 ;)

Are you on Apollo or Thor? I tested a random camera app off the Play Store called YouCam Perfect on my Thor running CM13 and it seems to work.

Sometimes the KitKat based camera HAL gets corrupt and the device needs a reboot. Uptime for me is currently 141 hours tho.

No problem if you need a logcat or something else I should test please feel free to invite me. Thanks for your hard work on hdx devices.

On cm12 all works fine but more apps can't be installed... Since a few cm13 builds I don't have the 505 play store error but apps like Google notes open after you have chosen your account the app crashed.

My most impressive device is the Samsung i9000-development running Android 6 and all working ?.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
There is no "Google Notes" app; if referring to "Google Keep" it installs and launches fine on my Thor. To date I have yet to find a mainstream app that does not install/launch properly on HDX CM 12.1 (including Open Camera) although obviously my device type and app suite differs from yours. CM 13 is almost as good. That said, Amazon hardware is not like that used by most other Android devices. There will always be a few issues that challenge developers. Rotation, radios and cameras immediately come to mind.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

To close this out I am now on CM 12.1 which (as expected) handles SIMless devices properly. Such a shame as CM 13 brings a number of nice UI refinements. Fortunately most of the aesthetic and functional enhancements in Marshmallow can be obtained via Nova (or similar launcher), Greenify and a few select Xposed modules.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
yes i mean google keep

looks like apollo have more issues than thor ;) as you said..

after upgrading gapps i havent 505 error but some google apps crash

i dont have xposed or other mods installed only cm root ;) or should i use super su?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
I avoid newer builds of SuperSU (above 2.76) as control has shifted to a different entity with questionable motivations. There are also reports of WiFi issues (spontaneous disconnects) with HDX CM 13 when SuperSU is managing root access. As for your other concerns:

- perform a full wipe in TWRP (system/data/internal) to clean out cruft

- reflash CM 13 (or 12.1) with minimal GAaps package - suggest 'nano'

- do not mess with device characteristics in build.prop

- above won't fix all 505 errors but should yield stability for mainstream apps installed via Play Store or sideloaded from a trusted source

Note: If you use 'hybrid' messaging apps such as Hangouts or Google Voice you'll probably want to stick with CM 12.1; see earlier posts for background.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
i have this wifi issues to but on cm13 root

- i dont flashed anything elese as pico gapps

- dont modified other system files
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Might be Apollo build specific. Just seems you are experiencing several issues not shared by others (could be there ... just not reported). Hence the suggested full system wipe.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sergtot:
That didn't work out for Thor.

Placed these files, gave permissions, cleaned Google Play cash. Reboot. As a result Next Launcher 3D Lite and Chronus weather widget are still unavailable for my device.

Didn't try, but have a question. Will Build.prop file be overwritten after firmware update?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Fallingwater:
Hmm. It would appear that my wifi has stopped autoconnecting, even though it's set to automatic in the settings. If I enable the transceiver it just sits there until I go in the wifi settings and manually connect to my network. This happens with WiFiWidget as well - it stays stuck at "Connecting...". Aside from WiFiWidget, which worked fine in the beginning, I haven't installed anything that manipulates wifi (to the best of my knowledge). It works fine after a manual connection, so it's not a critical problem, just a minor annoyance.

On a side note, is there any hope of an update soon? I don't mean to hurry, I only ask for information - the tablet's inability to connect to my Bluetooth speakers has become a major inconvenience, so if no updates are forthcoming I'll reflash a 4.4 ROM.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] preisl:
Hi

I had the same issue with Google apps, i solved that by installing these (keep, maps) via open-gapps.

Br,

Martin
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Yes, it will be overwritten.

It's an age old problem since I started to work on these devices, this issue with apps been unavailable. No matter what I change the build.prop attributes to, works for a while then bang, changes are made and it all stops working as it should.

Changing the build.prop is one solution and so is using an app like Market Changer, I don't even know if it's still available or going by a different name.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Market Changer is no longer reliable and hasn't been for some time. My workaround is pretty straightforward: sideload what is not available via the Play Store (which typically supports 95% of my apps on HDX roms) and remember to check for updated versions from time to time. Apkmirror is a great resource for many popular apps; a little Googling will usually surface safe sources for the balance. In a pinch I can also snag (export) apks from some of my other Android devices.

Might consider uninstalling SuperSU which others claim destabilizes WiFi connectivity in multi-band environments. I haven't experienced that personally but I dumped SuperSU on CM 12/13 for other reasons. The integrated CM root manager works fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sergtot:
I use Aptoide as a market replacement. Sometimes apps have newer versions there than in Google Play.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Alle9ne:
Probably asked several times before but is there a chance 4G-connectivity will be working on future CM13 builds? Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Or F-Droid which is a (claimed) curated fork of Aptoide.

Most of the devs currently working on the HDXs don't have 4g models. :/

Hi, I am using 13.0-20160824-NIGHTLY-thor and the wifi connection is lost often. just using 2.4 ghz and no supersu connected to a FritzBox 7490 (WPA2). In our office environment (Cisco 3600; 802.1x EAP) I got no connection losses. I would be happy about assistance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
FritzBox 7490 is multi-band capable which seems to be at the core of connectivity issues. If possible try to disable the 5 GHz radio or assign a static IP. If still no joy consider falling back to CM 12.1 which does not exhibit this behavior. Also try a newer nightly as several important tweaks were made since the 0824 build.

First report of persistent disconnect issues on CM 13 w/o SuperSU. Did you remove it via settings option (full cleanup) or was it never installed?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Koile:
Count me second. Apollo with complete full wipe/clean-install.

Assigned a static IP and will see, if this fixes it.

edit: nope, did not fix it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Could I request a favor: reinstall SuperSU and see if it makes a difference. To be clear I do NOT expect it to fix the problem; just want to know if it makes it worse. Suggest going with v 2.76 which is the final build from ChainFire (available here).

Developers are obviously monitoring this thread but have limited time to address the problem. As previously noted CM 12.1 does not exhibit this problem. Toss in Greenify, Nova and (optionally) and few select Xposed modules and you come close to the functionality of CM 12.1 with no compromises.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] GameExpertNetwork:
Have thor w/ 4g. Willing to test 4G stuff.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Alle9ne:
I also have 4G (Apollo). I think the problem is that none of the developers has a 4G Version to test it before releasing it to the public.

Count me as number 3 with the wifi issues. ROM: cm-13.0-20161021-NIGHTLY-thor, openGApps micro.

I have a constant connection loss with my device (thor). The connection is established and gets a reset after 12-20 seconds.

Access Point is a FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E with is used in bridge mode with the FRITZ!BOX 7490

2,4GHz and 5GHz active with the same SSID. It worked well with the Nexus ROM.

I found a solution that works for me: I renamed the 2.4GHz SSID and connect only to the 5GHz. Connection is now stable and by the way this solved some additional wifi issues with other devices too :o

With the following suggestion, now I am getting 'Celluar netowrk not available' error message instead of tablet rebooting.

Settings -> Apps -> Configure apps (icon in upper-right corner) -> Default apps -> Phone app -> Set the phone app

"https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-7753

Description

When trying to make a call with the stock dialer the phone immediately reboots.

How to reproduce

Open the dialer

Type in any number, I've tried several

Press the dial button

The CyanogenMod boot animation is displayed; after the boot process I'm back at the log screen

Attached is a logcat. The critical line seems to

Unable to start receiver com.android.server.telecom.components.PrimaryCallReceiver

Google will find quite a number of results for this. The fix that worked for me is:

Settings -> Apps -> Configure apps (icon in upper-right corner) -> Default apps -> Phone app -> Set the phone app

I'm still reporting this issue as I believe this should work out of the box."
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Known issue; see capability (Woking/Not Working) matrix in OP. I agree phone app should be set by default to prevent spontaneous reboot when phone features are used. Beyond that don't expect mobile/cellular support anytime soon. Has been problematic on nearly all custom ROMs for this device.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Thoughts:

- insure rotation options are enabled in settings

- use an alternate launcher for more control (Nova works great)

- Xposed module "OwnOrientation" (paid) and "HaveOwnOrientation" (free) fixes apps in any compatible rom that impose a specific orientation; works great

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Reboot device after full wipe; typically fixes this behavior. If no joy try a slightly older build in case there are issues neither the latest nightly.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Yes, but those issues were (supposedly) resolved. As a test try CM 12.1 or one of the other two Marshmallow based builds (Nexus; AICP). At present I am using CM 12.1 with Nova, Xposed and Greenify which closely emulates CM 13 on appearance and feature set.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] MahmudS:
With CM12.1 I have same situation, only CM11 running well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Have you unlocked bootloader? Also try installing a slightly older build of twrp (3.0.0.1); a link is available in the 3.0.2.0 thread OP. Awile back another contributor reported issues flashing some Apollo builds with the latest twrp which was apparently fixed with an earlier twrp build.

I've had no issues installing CM13 Appolo. Been running it for about a month or so, installing it with latest TWRP at the time (3.02?). Went right from Fire OS stock to CM. There are issues with the ROM, including networking (drops every few minutes) but I use it daily. I have updated with three different nightlies so far, last being 11/04.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] MahmudS:
Tried three different versions of TWRP (3.0.2.0, 3.0.0.0, 3.0.0.1), same result: CM13 for Apollo installed but didn't load; when I tried to install CM13 for Thor on Apollo, I see error 7, so as I understand, problem not in TWRP.

Who has working version CM13 for Apollo? Last four versions from cyanogenmod site haven't work, they freeze on boot logo.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
Cm works fine on apollo be sure to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP 3 again. Looks like a kernel problem

Only bugs I face are sometimes you can't install apps from play store (use sideload)

Camera doesn't work (is bad)

WiFi reconnect (use lollipop client in development options)

Minimum brightness is to low should be set a bit higher

So I have no reboots and xposed are running fine
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] MahmudS:
On flashboot mode I have green message [[ Unlock code is correct ]], so bootloader is unlocked, yes?

And strange, in TWRP I see temperature "CPU: 0" in general cases; and don't see battery percentage, but sometimes it displays correct.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
If CM 11 (and presumably Nexus 4.0.5) flash ok but none of the other custom roms boot it suggests kernel components are not getting updated. Not much you can do about that if the bootloader unlock is showing green 'OK'. As a last resort try twrp 2.x (search for the latest HDX build). Going for the longshots...
