My stock rom is 13.3.2.4.

Safestrap 3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0).

Current Nexus rom with Android 4.2.2 and kernel 3.4.0.

Can CM be installed into a rom slot to allow parallel use of nexus rom? Even a reinstall of nexus would be ok.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
- moving forward you will not be able to have multiple roms installed on your device at the same time (no Safestrap)

- keep in mind Safestrap and TWRP are not the same thing; TWRP is the 'real deal'; Safestrap is an emulator with different capabilities

- to unlock your bootloader you will need to remove Nexus, uninstall Safestrap v3 recovery and downgrade to FireOS 3.2.3.2

- once unlocked (easy or frustrating experience; YMMV) it is a relatively trivial matter to install TWRP and the ROM of your choice

Give it some thought; I can help with details but will probably move conversation to a different thread as most preparatory steps are not CM13 related.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sergtot:
I had the same stock rom and Safestrap versions :)

The 1st step: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/how-to-unbrick-kindle-fire-hdx-firmware-t3277197 - as a result you'll get aboot partition 13.3.2.3 version and TWRP 2.X.X.X. So you can do procedure of unlock without downgrading to 13.3.2.3.

The 2nd step: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/multi-platform-1-click-bootloader-t3241014 - you'll get unlocked boot.

The 3rd step: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3322547 - flash TWRP 3.0.2.0.

Aaaand your

memory is untouched

. So you can use your old Nexus ROM :)

The 4th step (if you want): http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=thor - flash CM 13.

I've been thinking the same thing. Nougat is what Marshmallow should have been. I'm still rocking Nexus on my primary HDX but will likely go with CM 12.1 for the next upgrade as Lollipop with a few mods seems better behaved IMHO. That said, I'd likely jump to Nougat in a heartbeat!

Unstable Wi-Fi visibility and connection has been made much better by setting default IP for Kindle in DHCP settings of my router.

I suppose the reason wasn't in Kindle, because Kindle successfully sees all neighbors' wifi nets.

I can't get the latest nightly to work for some reason. I factory reset and flash it and it sits on the cm logo after boot forever. I was previously using the build from 2-19 I think and had twrp 2.7.4(?). After trying the first time I rebooted into recovery and reflashed the 2-19 build and that booted up no problem and then I updated to the twrp 3something linked a couple pages back and then tried to flash the latest nightly again but just got the same problem. Endless sitting on the CM logo. It doesn't freeze or anything but it just never gets past that screen.

Any ideas?

Did you wipe dalvik and cache partitions? Often does the trick. A more aggressive wipe that includes the system and/or data partition may be needed. btw, unlikely twrp 3.x is a factor.

is there a way not just to wipe all the partitions but to format them?

in case there are some errors on the flash?

think i found the culprit

when repairing data partition in twrp i get

unable to repair '/data/'.

Error repairing file system

p.s. format data clears that but after flasing cm 12.1 and booting it appears

again after the automatic reboot

p.s.s. flashed 13.4.5.2 boots then after a while reboots as well...

what could that be? problems with emmc?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Would seem to be a HW issue. Since little else can be done try a non-CM based rom like Nexus v4. Long shot at best but it might remain stable longer and/or provide additional clues to the state of your device. Do a through wipe first to avoid interactions with CM leftovers.

Great news! Although my HDX devices are unlocked I am curious if you foresee a Safestrap compatible release in the coming months. Not a big deal at present as Nexus v4 and CM11 cover most of the bases for the rooted/locked HDX community. But at some point apps will start phasing out KitKat support. Then again 3rd/4th gen devices might be obsolete by then.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] EncryptedCurse:
It won't be possible until Amazon updates FireOS.

We're stuck with the Kit Kat kernel.

Also, I wouldn't expect any apps to "start phasing out KitKat support" anytime soon; it still makes up almost 37% of the market share.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
- Like EncryptedCurse says we would need an Amazon update to make a new version of safestrap compatible with lollipop.

Hi.

I have an Apollo from today on CM13 (thanks to the new bootloader unlock procedure).

The problem is about the camera. I see images from both cameras but CAN'T shoot a frame while CAN record a video.

Very strange behaviour.

- Candycamera (ok shoot!)

Can you help me to understand this?

Thanks a lot.

The camera problems are a known issue which are ongoing. We need updated compatible binaries from Amazon, however this is unlikely as Amazon don't have any plans to update Apollo or Thor to FireOS 5. We will try our best to solve this but in practice this may prove difficult.
