ggow, ROM runs great, super fast and battery life great.

I know its been mentioned here before but didn't notice any answer / fixes, but the:

- auto rotate doesn't seem to work (even after changing settings in launcher and rom, and doesn't rotate when installing a different launcher)

- connected to Bluetooth speakers seems to skip on music playback (but this might down to the marshmallow code)

- WiFi doesn't want to auto connect to saved networks...

Other than that, ROM is awesome... Thanks for unleashing my hdx Thor

I can back up the WiFi issues because I've been having problems with it for a while. There is times it will also randomly disconnect from my WiFi too for no reason.

I've tried wiping everything and fresh installing it and it never fixed it. Also, the keyboard error I was talking about before is that you have the tablet set to landscape and have something like an app that forces portrait and you try to use the keyboard but half of it will be missing.

You fix it by turning on auto rotate but that isn't how things should work. Basically the app knows to force it to portrait but the keyboard doesn't get the messages as it stays forced to landscape.

Tried 02-19 for 24 hours with fresh wipe (system, data and caches) but couldn't stay on it for long due to WiFi drops and auto-reconnect not working.

Unlike my earlier experience, after resetting network settings and turning location services off, Greenify Pro showed me a 3 hour doze time with wifi always on (default). So, I the battery issues were addressed for me thanks to blade_bakerk's suggestions.

I had rotation issues too -- turning on 180 degree rotation fixed all angles for me, not just 180.

This time around, I've backed up cm13 for quick restore and dirty flash upgrade. Just say the word...

Hi, does updating the bootloade to 3.2.3 help? I'm still on 3.1.0 and see some artifacts while minimizing the stock browser. Also there is no stock file browser.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
You should update the bootloader to 3.2.3.2 (here); risk is minimal if (simple) instructions are followed. Be sure to validate the md5 of the image on device; flashing a corrupt bootloader file can ruin your day.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] hurdubaiev:
Thanks! I upgraded the bootloader and no more artifacts :). Runs pretty good, except I think I have wi fi drain, it's the second in battery stats below screen on time, maybe a future version will fix. Thanks again for maintaing this device ! :good:

All credit rightfully goes to [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Unlikely WiFi drain is a bug. Active radios consume power. Configure to disable radio (advanced WiFi settings) when the device is sleeping unless you absolutely need to maintain connectivity 7x24.

Don't really have much to add about this ROM in specific, but doze is fantastic. I've left my tablet on for 21 days so far, and the battery is still at 30%.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it correct that this version is *not* compatible with safestrap? So if I try to flash it the same way that is described here it wouldn't work?

- WiFi is now good

- Sensors are still not working - will continue debugging for now
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] murso74:
When you say wifi is now good.. Is that referring to the battery drain ?

Referring back, WiFi actually works. On the new branch WiFi wasn't working at all.

Not sure exactly how, but, managed to brick after a successful flash/boot (was restoring Snapchat via Titanium). Useless statement without logs, or the ability to get them. Didn't expect it of a running system, and can't help but think there is something I missed. Just an update to TWRP, complete wipe, cm/gapps/supersu/xposed. Was happily signed in, putting apps back on, crashed on the TiBu restore and display is gone (responding to button combinations, so imagine I'll be able to restore after ordering a fastboot cable).

Ran awesome for the half hour it was going strong, and looking forward to a second go in a few days here! No complaints, but figured I would share the experience. Last thing I bricked was a "dumb phone" at the turn of the century, so I wish I knew how I managed this one.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Can you get into TWRP?

The HDX's do not require a fastboot cable. You can enter fastboot by powering on and holding volume down button.

Then you should be able to reload TWRP from here
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Nor do they generally respond to fastboot cables or any alternative pinout. I use to claim they are totally useless on a HDX but [MENTION=5594063]ONYXis[/MENTION] has had some luck with a 'special case' unbrick procedure.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] morbos:
No response on the display, or notification, from anything. The only reason I know the device is alive at all is because it responds via USB. And yeah, I would have thought the same thing of a "fastboot" cable and had no reason to own or make one before now, but, I'm seeing "Unknown USB Device (Invalid Device Descriptor)," in Windows, which is a case mentioned in the thread I imagine you're referring to, and the one it seems I will be giving a try. I'm a little more awake now, so I'll give some alternatives a go (Linux) and see if I can get communication up and going. The TWRP build you linked is the one I flashed to start the process. For whatever reason, TWRP rebooted during the flash of "open_gapps-arm-6.0-aroma-20160228.zip" while calling the install script, a few times in a row, so I wiped and tried again, and went through the process with "open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160228.zip." No reason, all around. I went from TWRP 3.0.0-0, booted into CM13, all of the GApps were properly in place, XPosed loaded properly, and the root apps (TiBu, AdAway) were happy enough (was tempted to back out and reflash to give the root access in developer options a try, but didn't get the chance). Because I do not seem to be able to provide any type of logs (I wish I hadn't used the same command window to flash a N7 over to stock via script (which closes the window) so I could run through the commands and see if I mistyped something), I'll not hijack your release thread for "troubleshooting" what has to be a mistake I made. If I manage to get it responsive short of "brick recovery," I'll pull logs.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] droidboy29:
Unknown USB Device (Invalid Device Descriptor) That is the same message I got a few months ago when I hard bricked my 7 inch hdx. FYI I tried my fastboot cable I use for flashing 7 inch kindle fire hd's and it didn't do anything at all the hdx was totally non responsive. But best of luck hopefully you can get it going again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] morbos:
http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/how-to-unbrick-kindle-fire-hdx-firmware-t3277197 is the thread that had me mentioning a fastboot cable, and the one Davey was making reference to. I am curious, if you still have the device around, if you can get it to show up using the drivers from that thread? I wouldn't suggest using the instructions, but testing the drivers wouldn't hurt.

The device is responsive enough to the power button, and volume button combinations. Windows is just impossible about drivers, in this particular case (attempting to force it to use any specific set of drivers here just babbles that it's already using the best ones).

In any case, I don't want to hijack the thread, and have gone on for long enough about something essentially unrelated. My apologies! If you end up having a second to check, PM me? Otherwise, I am sure the brick is an abberation. One that doesn't make a lot of sense, as the flash and boot process went beautifully, and I didn't put anything on the device that would have touched anything it shouldn't from inside the OS. If I was bricking the device, I should have never have made it to a place where I was setting up connections to network shares, calibre servers, and restoring a few backups. C'est la vie!

lol... battery drain WAS gone... now it's back... changed NOTHING. now that's weird :/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
If I were to guess (only a WAG) suspect radios are not dropping into a reduced power state when idle. Another possibility is CPU/GPU throttling - but that's easily detected via monitoring app (eg: Kernel Aditor) or simply external heat generated by a pegged processor. Process Stats under Developer Options may also turn up some clues along with a root aware battery app like GSam.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] floschl:
I installed the version 2016-02-19 and do also experience wifi drain, which is about 20% per 24 hours. Wifi is switched off completely, also the "use Wifi for location services although switched off" option (or so).

I've used BetterBatteryStats to analyze the behaviour, 97% Deep Sleep Wifi On for 53%. I have actually not really used the tablet. Analyzing the time the individual processes had been using gives me the info that the process "surfaceflinger" was used almost the same amount of time, which the state "Wifi On" amounts to. Might be coincidence or a hint?

lack of screen rotation

Hi Guys ! Today my Kindle Fire HDX 7'' bought on ebay arrived and it was a big suprise when I discovered that the firmware on it was 13.3.0.2_user_302075320 :D so i proceed to rooting, blocking OTA and unlocking bootloader straight away, everything went smooth, really guys you did great work providing these informations and tools. Thanks ! However after successfull instalation of CM13 screen rotation doesn't work anymore. Any ideas how to get this back to work ? And another thing, every time when I boot device it boots into fastboot mode and I have to type in command prompt "fastboot -i 0x1949 continue" .Can I get rid of this or Its gonna be like this now because bootloader is unlocked ? Many thanks for help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
- If you're talking about screen rotation on the launcher, it now needs to be manually enabled (a change implemented in moving to marshmallow). Go into the launcher settings and there is an option to enable it there.

- Do any of your apps rotate?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] cocoon4u:
I can confirm, that battery drain is back (only updated new TWRP 3.0.0-0) and same as other guys the problem with WiFi after standby.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ONYXis:
Maybe need to update bootloaders to 3.2.3.2 ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
That could indeed be the problem
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] thex_one:
Thanks for reply, will do this tommorow after work :D Silly question but is my bootloader going to remain unlocked if I do this update or do i have to do 1click unlock again ? Since Im on CM13 is it safe to flash CM11? CM11 is stable so i think I will wait with CM13 till battery drain and screen rotation and camera problems gets fixed :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
The unlock should still be present. You may find rotation starts working once the bootloaders are upgraded.

Install open camera or snap camera should work ok

So I didn't give up and flashed CM13 again and finally sensors are working and screen rotation too!! You guys were right with this bootloader upgrade. Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] jport36:
I am also having issues with screen rotation. I am already on bootloader 3.2.3.2. When you re-flashed CM13 did you perform a dirty flash or a clean? If you performed a clean flash when wipe in TWRP? I am also using TWRP 2.8.7.0, in the event this makes a difference.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] thex_one:
I did clean install with factory reset and I have TWRP 3.0.0-0. But before that I flashed CM11 just to check if sensors are working there but I think it didn't matter.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DarkenedMatter:
Does anyone have a link to a working version of 3.0 of TWRP that works for the Kindle Fire HDX? Or is there a specific one I can download to try out on this ROM that is the latest version?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Believe signature needs to be forged to leverage bootloader vulnerability. If true you will need to wait for a dev to post a custom build. That said, I see nothing in v3 beyond eye candy that makes it a must have.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] vynzy:
I played around with my Apollo device 16gb this morning to solve the rotation problems on CM13 .

First I flashed TWRP 3.0 using flashify (was on 2.8.7 before). Then i rebooted in recovery and recovery was in landscape mode, no rotation possible. After that I wiped system, data and cache an installed cm11. In cm11 rotation works perfect, no problems, but if i reboot in recovery: still landscape mode. Flashing TWRP 3.0 again in cm11 didn´t help. So i tried to flash the bootloader upgrade file 3.2.3.2 in recovery again, but didn´t help too. The only thing I find out is that if i go in fastboot mode i now have the landcape mode too... (the fastboot writing is in right angel to the kindle writing).

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Unless I am reading this wrong your observations surround screen orientation in recovery (twrp) and in fastboot mode. Both assume the default HW device orientation. I suppose steps could be taken to enable rotation in recovery - but why? If you're attempting to associate screen behaviors in low level environments like twrp/fastboot with rotation problems in CM-13 there is no link. As rotation works correctly in some situations (eg: CM-11) it's obviously not a hardware problem.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] vynzy:
I´m not an expert and I don´t know how the default HW device orientation is set. The only thing I can tell is that after flashing TWRP 3.0 in CM13 using flashify, the screen orientation has changed. Before with TWRP 2.8.7 I think that it was working fine.

But if you don´t see a link to CM13, forget my post. I can live with TWRP in landcape mode... :)

Thanks for your answer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Yep - TWRP 2.8.x.x assumes a portrait orientation (same as bootloader) while TWRP 3.x.x.x opts for landscape. Neither rotate. HDX devices have a default portrait (0 degree) and landscape (90 degree) orientation. The other two (180, 270) are alternative orientations. Many launchers allow disabling some or all of the above. If you are having difficulty in CM-13 there *may* be some interaction with launcher controls. Nova and Apex seem to manage rotations the best in my limited experience. I don't have a lot of experience with GEL or Trebuchet (default on most CM builds) other than the latter has never treated me badly.

Also possible there is some kernel interaction (bug); a dev would need to address that.

CM13 is not booting

Hi ggow and friends,

i have an Kindle Fire HDX 7 with 13.3.2.4 firmware, rooted it 2 years ago with the KFHDX ToolKit v0.95 and installed Safestrap 3.72 and an old Nexus-like-Image on it (which runs on 4.2.x if i remember right). Today i wanted to update to a newer version and so i tried to install this CM13 release. As mentioned in this and other threads, i rollbacked to firmware 13.3.1.0 (to unlock the bootloader) and installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 - which is accessible with the key combination PWR + VolUp at bootup. My problem is, that neither this CM13 release nor (for testing purposes) the CM11 or the Nexus release of this forum boots up and remains infinitive in the white (not animated) "kindle fire" logo. The stock firmwares are still flashable and booting up without flaws after renaming them from *.bin to *.zip and flashing them with TWRP.

Any suggestions, how i get CM13 to work? Did i miss something not mentioned in the requirements?

Greetings,

Brainlin

- sounds like bootloader is still locked; how did you confirm unlock procedure worked?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Brainlin:
Hi Davey,

so i missed the fact, that i need to unlock it manually (so it is not unlocked by the firmware alone) - well, then i got some small work to do. I really appreciate your help.

I unlocked the bootloader with the python scripts i found, now everything works fine. Thanks for the help!

My bad

Hey guys. I'm in trouble now so wanna tell you a story and ask for a advice if there could be any. So previously on my HDX7 there was a Nexus rom. I installed it months ago. Yesterday I decided to flash CM13. I did all the steps what Mr.ggow wrote. Except one thing. I first flashed it on the Slot 1, not on the Stock. Turned out it didn't boot. So then I flashed it on the stock slot. I've got the same issue. Once it rebooted and asked for Restore Defaults, I hit Yes.. So now I have clean KDX7 without any rom on it but with twrp 2.7.0. IS there any way to push rom into it? I've read not tons but about 10 threads and still have no answer. Thank you in advance for any advice/link or whatever)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] donharden2002:
When I first unlocked my bootloader I flashed this rom. Then I flashed a twrp version of 14.5.5. When I tried to go back to this with a backup or from a fresh flash I would get to the cm boot logo and never get past that.

Just went through the bootloader unlock process again and still can't flash it. HDX Nexus 4.0.5 works fine but can't get cm13 to fully boot?

Through a combination of downloading cm12.1 and setting it up then dirty flashing cm 13 rebooting then flashing open micro gapps now we are up and running.

Everything at this point seems to be running very well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Brainlin:
Hi torus1989,

you talking about ROM slots, which sounds a lot like Safestrap for me. I remember that the old safestrap installation shows something like "Safestrap vX.XX (TWRP vX.XX)" on it - this means Safestrap and no clean TWRP is installed. So basically in order to boot up custom ROMs (or restored backups) you need to handle with the bootloader - which is locked on th HDX7 to now allow custom ROMs. There are two recoveries available:

The Safestrap recovery builds around the bootloader (so that i can still be locked) and allows installation of some custom ROMs - i assume only these which can work with the kernel of the previous installed kindle OS.

The TWRP recovery needs an unlocked bootloader but can flash all ROMs.

So the following questions you need to answer:

Which recovery do you have installed AND in which version? (Safestrap - or - clean TWRP)

Are you able to load files to the internal storage over USB, while you are in the recovery?

Are you able to find the HDX7 for executing adb commands, while you are in the recovery? (test with "adb devices")

What was the last kindle OS version which was installed in the stock rom?

Greetings,

Brainlin
