Hello all

I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device. :(

Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this :(
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DeadSquirrel01:
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

Ok i want to port Resurrection Remix on my A8, i need a simplest guide for android build environment startup, using windows 10, with no knowledge about programming languages such as C++ etc etc which is required to be used on Linux OS, can you plz help me, i will install ubuntu OS on my laptop, but i am worried can i install two different os in one machine, i.e. Windows 10 & Ubuntu
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DeadSquirrel01:
yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux

Anyone know how to modify the POP3 sync intervals. I see 15 mins, 30 mins, etc but I want to know if there is a reg hack to sync every 5 mins maybe even 3 mins. I know that this will affect battery life but I have 2 important mail accounts, 1 Exchange and 1 POP3 and I need to check them both frequently. The Exchange account is using Push so that one is not a problem, but the POP3 interval is to long at 15 mins.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Genesis3:
The newest ROM build (see the top sticky here) has the intervals down to 5 minutes....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] W.O.P.R:
Thanks for the update. I am looking for a reg hack though as I don't want to change ROM's at this point. I am transitioning between a couple of phones and ROM updates is a little too much work at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Critical Detox:
Given the fact that Samsung rolled out all the Snapdragon s7 and s7e with locked bootloaders, I have little to no hope for the note 7. What do you guys think about its chances of coming with an unlocked bootloader?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
All the future samsung usa phones which are branded tmobile, at&t, sprint and verizon will have locked bootloaders

If you want a rooted samsung phone in the future you will all need to buy the international models.

Thats why I purchased the S7 EDGE G935F international model a few weeks ago. All the international samsung phones are very easily rooted and none of them have locked bootloaders.

And to top it off all the samsung international phone models come sim unlocked .

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tribleten:
I wonder how pricy will the Note 7 be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Orion575:
I think chances are zero
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Critical Detox:
My main concern for it is im a huge Viper supporter, and If can't root and get Viper on that device....That device is dead to me. I'm hoping some miracle comes through and we get the Samsung device we all want AND an unlocked bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Root has been achieved for the s7 and edge on ATT and Tmobile. May want to word your answers in such a way that they dont seem like absolutes.

Also every international model of every phone comes sim unlocked. Thats why there is a category for unlocked phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Critical Detox:
I saw that a few days ago, maybe In due time they'll get the bootloader unlocked too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tribleten:
That's awesome news! Do you know if they posted the root procedures for Tmobile S7 on XDA? I haven't seen them yet.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tribleten:
Oh ok...seems like a few people are having issues with that method (as most new root methods), but it's definitely a start in the right direction.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I've seen both sides on it, some got issues and some are reporting that everything is okay. Another interesting aspect is people reporting this doesnt trip knox, while being rooted samsung pay doesnt work but when they revert knox still shows 0x0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
They my understanding is knox remains 0x0 because it uses a repair kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chipworkz:
Crazy how there is not much talk about the Note 7 with it only about 2 weeks away. I am really mixed about getting it still since I know it is going to be locked. The only thing that is really holding me back at this point is not being able to use Viper. There are a couple of other things that would be nice to still be able to do but those aren't major. Android has come a long way and the need for a custom rom just isn't what it used to be. I really like the Note line and prefer to stay with it so I may just bit the bullet and go without root. Whether I get it at launch will also depend on the special offers they are giving out. I got the Year of Netflix and free VR with the S7 Edge before I returned it so if they have a simular offer, I will probably jump on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
I was just thinking this same thing...i own my note 5 outright so i may just trade it in if there's a good deal...progress has been made with root on the s7's so I'm hopeful similar leaps are made...nonetheless, i have to say, my girls note 5 is bone stock unrooted and with few exceptions there's little that can't be done...for her nothing, and for me, well, I'm just finally learning to develop on Linux so i definitely want to keep SOME rootable device in my stable as well, but that's might end up meaning a second device (next nexus?) and swapping my sim around smh...it's just that usb3.0, ip68, 256gb storage and 6gb ram PLUS a true edge screen is almost too much to resist, root or not, plus there's always samsung pay while it's still 0x0...i see myself getting it, only question is when and will i also spent flagship money on a second device (OP3? nexus? Htc?- pretty much all are sd820...) until a good root method or unlocked bootloader becomes a reality....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
This is what will break me, some awesome deal with two phones, VR, and what not.

Probably gonna go with that blue if i do buy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] jaxenroth:
I'm always with 2 phones, 1 is usually a nexus device, the note series have been my go to though. I'll likely get the N7 and do what I can do to it with in the confines of no super user. Nexus devices are so cheap, you can always pick up one for around $200, excluding the 6p. The devs here on XDA are top notch, so I'm always confident they'll come up with something.

Sent from my phone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
Well a locked bootloader is a locked bootloader in most cases. The s7 exploit is really just a Samsung repair kernel that was leaked that's really not fit for prime time, unfortunately...

And even that is still limited in no custom recovery or roms, just stock debloat, xposed, viper/etc...

no good roms to try

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

sadly, you can't have aosp because of xynos therefore useless to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I wouldn't say can't, it can in fact happen and has. It just isn't easy. There are snapdragon devices that never got stable CM builds. Just in the case with the exynos, the odds aren't in their favor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chipworkz:
If I do get the Note 7, which I probably will, it will be with the knowledge that if most likely will never be unlocked. I have been running pure stock and not even rooted for a couple weeks now to see how unrooted life is. ;) I have been rooted and running a custom rom for several years now. Like I said before, there are some cool features in custom roms but the need for them just isn't what it used to be. The only thing I am truly missing is Viper. So for me it comes down to the simple question of which is more important. What is more important, all of the new features of the new phone or the ability to use Viper.

I swore I wouldn't buy a locked phone and would move to the Nexus line but based on the rumors of the next Nexus phones, I am not thrilled with them. I just don't see anything that I would rather move to over the Note 7 based on what we know so far. That along with the fact that I am on the original Jump program so without needing to buy the phone outright, I need to pick from T-Mobiles selections.

A lot of the reasons to have root can be accomplished with apps so life without root isn't a huge deal for me anymore. I just wish there was a Viper alternative that can be used without root. Anyone know of one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] 10-K:
What's a repair kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Tell me this ain't sexy asf

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Likely a kernel that exists for lab use to enable certain features for troubleshooting, repair, or testing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
Authorized service centers get special kernels that will allow root access for the purpose of repairing devices. Some things just CAN'T be done without root access, and these repair centers are given the tools...then they get leaked and viola, s7 edge rooted but with terrible memory management and over heating etc, cuz the kernel was never meant for more than just getting the device back to functional...and that's where root stands on the s7 thus far...certainly folks will find a way to improve the situation, maybe even make a kernel that's more optimized for daily use, but the locked bootloader is still an issue, and modifications detected will prevent boot, so i personally don't know how they'll even build a better kernel cuz how would we sign it? And haven forbid we discuss apps like lucky patcher (that may or may not be of any assistance in the "signing"...I've read things about spoofing manufacturer signatures to attempt to trick the bootloaders, but i don't think anyone's been successful yet...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
Oh, it's sexy! For sure! I'm hoping the rumors of a simultaneous announcement and release are true! Aug 2nd would be extra awesome! Lol

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] stubbe:
Managed to boot into Fire OS

I just use fastboot to flash both kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img and kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin.

After a reboot I went into TWRP, it does a few stuffs then rebooted again automatically.

Blue logo came up, then the orange logo, but it took longer than usual, I was a bit panicking. Forgot that on each first boot Android would take longer than usual.

But then kindle fire up the first time setup *phew*

First I want to get Gapps working on this device. If that working well, I'll stick with stock + GAPPS and custom launcher.

Only after that I will try CM12 on it.

I'll update on this thread later on how it goes.

Did anyone still have the stock recovery.img and boot.img?

Also after completing the initial setup my navigation and status bar went missing :(

The navigation bar blinks for a second then went black. While the status bar which displays wifi icons and hide the settings are missing. I cannot swipe from above at all.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] stubbe:
With the status bar and navigation bar missing I can't do anything in it.

I still have APKs (es file explorer, kingroot, fireflash, all the ROMS like Cyanogen & TWRP) within the internal storage, but I cannot reach them.

Using silk tried to open file:/// it said "Webpage not available". I did this previously to sideload ES file explorer.

I went into recovery (power + volume up) but it went into fastboot mode instead of TWRP. And this time in "fastboot mode" it doesn't recognize either adb or fastboot commands from my PC.

I cannot even factory reset it.

What to do next?

My god, overall my impression so far? The hardware itself are near Apple premium quality.

But it looks like Amazon tried to follow Apple's footstep in term of software too.

Also this got me thinking of not having an android without any dedicated navigation buttons.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] stubbe:
Finally SOLVED.

I forgot I can download ES file explorer from Silk. But turn out my Amazon appstore account allowed me to download it instead. Probably because my dad and brother's credentials was wiped clean from it.

I went to find flashfire.apk in my internal storage. Install it, then the unknown source popup warning appeared. Luckily it got the settings button which lead me to that particular option. After I tick it, I need to shut my kindle down, reboot then went to install it again, because there's no navigation bar available.

After it installed, turn out Kingroot's root are still intact. Kingroot's root permission pop up appeared.

Reflashed TWRP and Freedom boot. Shut my Kindle down, volume up + power and I'm in TWRP!!!

I decide I'll just go full CM this time. So, continued this :

http://xdaforums.com/kind...8-5-1-t3278286

Now I'm currently updating the default Google apps from Google Play within CM 12. A little laggy but most definitely far better than FireOS.

I'll be using this Kindle for a week, I'll report here and hopefully can contribute to CM's bug report.

So far : camera, bluetooth, WIFI, GPS works out of the box. Brightness settings don't work.

Just one question, does this fastboot cable thingy "standard"? I saw one seller in my local online shop but it's for Xiaomi. Can I use it for OnePlus One and Kindle?

Oh yeah I got TWRP backup of the stock kindle, but I would still need both stock boot and recovery image. If someone kindly enough to provide me I'll be very thankful.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] stubbe:
Checking in

Root are enabled by default, just found out about this. It got build in, barebone SU management, on which you can allow an app to have root access or not, but didn't see any comprehensive root access management like those found in SuperSU.

So installed SuperSU, told SuperSU to just update through TWRP, update binary was a breeze, all done automatically.

Watching YouTube on it was quite convenient. The screen obviously have near-retina display. Much better than viewing it on my Note 10.1 2012 obviously.

No problem browsing on Chrome.

Installed couple of other root apps, transfered it from my cheap chinese phone (Mito) using Bluetooth. All works well.

Tried to play Shooty Skies on it but it stuck on the intro screen. However on my OPO Shooty Skies refuses to run too and stuck on the intro screen. I've unlocked all characters on it I'll just wait for an update then.

Did some theming, custom boot animations works, styles applied, icons and everything applied without any problem at all.

One complain, the sound are too low, even when maxed out. Perhaps because the Dolby isn't supported by this CM yet?

My dad complained that there're too many updates after the initial setup so I use System Cleaner 2 to merge the updates into the system. The app did wonderful job on my Mito :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flaki.systemcleaner2

Merged all updates into the system. If I don't do this everytime I wipe the device, the device will keep asking for updates. At least on the Gapps. It stuck at the middle, so I restart the System Cleaner 2 and it continue to do its job.

Then when I install Link2SD, which often do better job and more comprehensive apk management, weird things started to happen. It's said SuperSU are not installed. That and also couple of Google Apps. When I run Link2SD, their size is 0.

I think it's most likely caused by System Cleaner 2, couple of apps got interrupted when I merge the updated apk into the system?

So I reboot, then after I got into trebuchet, all the supposedly installed apps are gone. I don't know why. Thus I wipe everything clean again, reflash CM12, and just go into unrooted mode, update the gapps, remove my account and let my dad login using his and do whatever he want with this kindle.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] stubbe:
Another minor update.

Since I've downloaded ICS (CM11), I figure I might just try it anyway. Since on whatever softwares I use I prefer older, stable version than bleeding edge and feature-rich but unstable ones.

Take a note I'm not saying CM12 is unstable, no problem so far, only those I pointed out in the previous post. But mostly because CM11 was marked "stable" on CyanogenMod download site.

First impression? It's snappier than CM12, and much more familiar than Lollipop. (since most devices I own still using JellyBean, with the exception of my OPO which already running Marshmellow).

My dad should be familiar with it too. Quite happy with it. But unfortunately the gapps are too outdated. It throws me server errors, and I cannot reach anything within Google Play. I can browse google websites without problem, even google play itself inside the default browser, so it's not connection problem definitely.

Updating the google play manually doesn't fix this. So any solution for this? Perhaps updated gapps for CM11/4.0.4?

Edit : eh nevermind, the Gapps provided for CM12 works with CM11. And very stable too.

Edit : CM11 for Kindle 8.9 is JellyBean 4.4, not ICS.

I guess I'll stick to CM11 for awhile then.

One more question, what does the CM12 recovery do? Can I install it alongside CM11? Is it better than TWRP?

Appears you have gone your own way completely independent of general guidance/solutions offered in the HDX forums. Seemed to work too based on your copious self-reporting. Hope all remains well; you are on an island which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Hey Davey. Thanks for the response.

Lol. Xda isn't my first English speaking forum so I did a search or two before I ask anything. And I've been around here quite awhile just rarely post but xda is my primary resource on mobile customizations.

I do still have couple of unanswered questions tho :

1. I still need the stock FireOS and recovery. I'm very sure I've backed it up but I probably accidentally wiped them in the process because I saved them in the internal storage.

2. Are the fastboot cables universal? This thing is hard to look for in my local stores and I can only find Xiaomi's. Will this work for every fastboot devices out there? I just found out about fastboot from flashing this kindle and I also recently find out my OPO uses fastboot as well so kinda thought it would be handy to keep one around.

3. How does CM12's recovery compares to TWRP? And will it runs fine along CM11 rom? I can try it myself but having late sleeps for days just because I bricked my kindle again isn't cool lol. TWRP does its job well. If it ain't broken I don't want to fix it. But I just want to know why [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] included it in Cm12. If it's worth it I'll go ahead and install it and probably give further reports about it.

So far my dad is enjoying his CM11 powered kindle. Not sure if he finds any new bugs or not but seems that he's not complaining.

Cheers and thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
As noted you have gone you own way so the standard responses don't necessarily apply. Quick notes:

- there are several ways of restoring stock FireOS on this device, none clean, all with ramifications. Unless you need FireOS I would stear clear

- no standard way of restoring stock recovery; obtaining a compatible recovery image will be a challenge. TWRP is far superior

- fastboot cables do not work with this device

- I have no knowledge of CM12's recovery. TWRP gets the job done and is universal.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] stubbe:
Ah dang. Not that much of a problem though. I just like to keep stocks ROMs around just to be safe. I won't be returning this thing to Amazon anytime soon, and I guess judging by my brief experience with the FireOS it won't be much of a use for our locals using the stock ROM if I or my dad actually decide to sell it.

Mmm... okay.

Ok fair enough and besides I don't go to the recovery much other than doing a backup.

Thanks Davey.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Praxxer1:
My Kindle Fire HDX (3rd Gen) is stuck in fastboot. After reading some forums, people don't recommend sending attempting to "recover" from the fastboot for the likelihood of bricking the device. Would you mind sharing the vulnerable bootloader + the twrp and the CM file you used? Along with the commands you used to flash. For some reason, the device isn't flashing the twrp image I have. I receive a "unknown partition" error when I try to flash twrp.

Thank you in advance.
