My guess is when you return the device to LinOS 14.1 rotation will not be working.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
- reflashed LinOS after a full wipe; rotation not working

- applied 3.2.3.2 bootloader update; no change

Interesting why rotation works on some devices but not others. None of my thors were upgraded past FireOS 3.2.6 before being unlocked. Wonder if [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]'s device traveled a different path and holds some remnants mine do not.

Edit: SUCCESS!!

- clean flashed 20170123 build; no change

- clean flashed 20161231 build (@hashcode); device failed to boot (hum...)

- clean flashed 20170126 build [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]) - SUCCESS!!

Attempted to replicate the above events by performing a full device wipe (including internal storage) and reflashing the 20170126 build. However, rotation immediately worked. WTFrig! Based on these events I can only conclude something in hashcode's build got rotation working again and left behind the magic bits for future installs.

Bear in mind I'm not the first experience this oddity. Several HDX threads have scattered reports of rotation not working (usually with CM ROMS) and then somehow being 'fixed' after flashing another build or version. Sounds unbelievably weird. Especially since it can not be reproduced on demand. Yep - I'll just wander over to the nut-house now and mumble quietly in the corner.

Anyhow - hope this post helps the developers or another HDX user seeking rotational nirvana. :)

Edit #2: I also flashed SELinuxModeChanger at some point but never toggled the setting (currently/always set to Enforcing). Possible that played a role.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Paladin@1976:
Thanks. Now I could boot into twrp and will try to reflash all files.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
The absence of a GAaps package is not the issue. Guessing something is amiss with the bootloader. Are you confident the device is unlocked?

There is little you can do from fastboot without doing a 'deep dive' which I lack the experience/knowledge to guide you through. Best option is to regain access to TWRP. Since you can establish communication with the device try to boot into TWRP from fastboot which should work even if the onboard install is corrupt/inaccessible:

eg: fastboot boot [twrp-3.0.0-1.img]

You will obviously need to download a suitable TWRP build (here) and adjust the name inside brackets accordingly. Assuming you can get TWRP to boot wipe the system/data/cache/dalvik partitions and then reflash CM 14.1 and (optionally) a suitable GAaps package. Assuming that works we can address fixing up the recovery partition at a later time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Paladin@1976:
Sorry, it was my mistake. I pressed the power and + buttons too long. Now it is working fine and I could reflash CM14.1 and open gaps without problems.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
It works but not well. Underground app itself installs and offers immediate access to the merchandise sections. However, the apps and video sections bring up the equivalent of a 404 (page not found) error. I believe this is where Underground tries to download/install companion apps like Amazon Video and the Amazon app store. No amount of fiddling could make it work. I finally snagged an old copy of the Amazon video app from a shady site. Once installed it immediately updated, Amazon Underground adopted it and videos played fine. I suspect a similar convoluted process would be required to get the app store working.

I believe the problem lies in the device itself vs LinOS. The Underground installer seems to understand the hardware is Amazon branded and attempts to install the Kindle variant of the Underground app which probably assumes FireOS and the silk browser are present. It can't be this hard on 'standard' Android devices.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] chipsugar:
I've been irritated by this same problem. I've been unable to install new apps from the Amazon app store and getting the 404 page not found error.

However after reading the above I thought is play around with the "ro.product.model" in build.prop. Changing this from "Kindle Fire HDX" to "KFHDX" worked and I am now able to install and open apps from the Amazon app store.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] khoacao96:
Does changing this value affects the apps and usage of the device in any negative ways? If not then I think this could be made default on the ROM. It would be useful for a lot of people :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
I changed it and so far the only thing that has happened is the amazon appstore working so yeah it should be implemented into the next build
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
I can confirm this works (a reboot was required) - thank you!

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

Leaning in the same direction but recommend allowing this tweak to age a few days/weeks to insure there are no unanticipated side effects. The change is easily made on an individual basis for those invested in Amazon's ecosystem.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sergtot:

In the days of Nexus ROM 1.xx. this type of mod used to work for weeks and sometimes days until it was closed down by Amazon/Google.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
I have a Sony Xperia X Compact, really nice device and the stock ROM is great. I have done a little kernel magic and that's it :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Appreciate the trend back to quality smaller profile mobiles. Something in the 4.7-5.2 inch range seems ideal. I recently snagged a pair of unlocked Moto G4 Play handsets for family @ <$100 USD. Perfectly adequate phone with near AOSP stock ROM at a disposable price point. Tossed in GravityBox plus a few other Xposed modules to add some personalization. Sips juice when idle (<0.2%/hr) and gives hours of SOT with a moderate workload. Not a high end device by any means but left plenty of coin for other adventures.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] blade22:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Reflash LinOS and Open GAaps nano (not stock...) package in one operation. Then reboot. If stable additional Google properties can be added individually from the Play Store and optionally migrated to the system partition.

There are other approaches. Advising a conservative path to narrow issues.

Edit: be sure to wipe system partition prior to reflash.

Is there a xposed version for CM 14.1?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
No Xposed framework for Android 7. Recent update from primary developer suggests it may be awhile (months) due to personal time constraints.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] merculiv:
Got Gotenna app installed and Working but loses blutooth after few mins?

Installed and flashed CM 14.1 for Thor nightly with Latest SU and Gapps mini for Android 7.1

Installed the Gotenna app apk since the google store app version says its not compatible with this device. (Kindle Fire 7 HDX 3rd gen)

The apk installs correctly and the blue-tooth does work with the app but loses connection after a few minutes of use.

I then have to disable blue-tooth and re-enable it and the connection with the app pairs up again and the app works as its suppose to. Can the devs add support for Gotenna in the play store and or see what issues are with the blue-tooth and why it drops after a few minutes of use? You can google search their website, and they do have SDK software available for their units.

Thanks and great work btw! Liking this rom on the kindle 7 hdx 3rd gen!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Bluetooth functionality/stability is a known issue with all non-KitKat based HDX custom ROMs due to compatibility with dated Amazon binaries. You should consider whether this device/ROM will meet your needs if utilized in an environment that depends on Bluetooth. Fire Nexus ROM may be a better choice.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] merculiv:
Installed the CM11 Kit Kat (4.4.4) ROM. Everything works out of the box. Solid Bluetooth and cam issues fixed. Happy

Only if they can build Lineage OS with the kindle fire friendly kernels. Maybe in the updates or with some devs that would be nice enough to pull out everything that works in Kit Kat 4.4.4 to the latest roms.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Not that simple. The same highly skilled developers that have supported this device for 3+ years (and are behind all but one of the custom HDX ROMs) have struggled with compatibility between undocumented, non-standard 4.x binaries (thank you, Amazon) and Android 5.x-7.x interfaces. It's not a matter of simply swapping kernels and calling it a day. 3rd gen devices are unique beasts that present a variety of challenges with no easy solutions.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Antonntminh:
I dont know this is known issue or not, but tue camera does not function in my Apollo Lineage 14.1 :(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Believe both cameras are working in the latest Apollo build from [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] (see OP). Try it with Open Camera to rule out an app issue.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Sideloading works fine. A custom Open GAaps install script is only needed to concurrently flash selected GAaps components including Play Games to the system partition. My preference is to go with one of the canned Open GAaps packages (nano) and add other Google properties as needed from either the Play Store or APKMirror for oddballs like Play Games. If desired those items can be subsequently migrated to the system partition.

Supposedly the Open GAaps Aroma installer allows one to choose individual packages without having to mess with an install script. Alternatively, use the scripted provided by a XDA contributor (here).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] merculiv:
Completely understand. I know not all software is designed automatically talk with every kernel revision or mod. And yes it does have to do with building (coding) the boot, file systems, kernel, drivers and base software that make android run. I know there's more too it,

I'm just dreaming there was an easier way. ;)

Rocking latest LinOS build from [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]; no issue with brightness. Either min/max panel or with camera. However, this particular device never ran anything other than FireOS v3 and LinOS 14.1 so it is possible the stock minimum brightness settings remain in force. I would need to rollback to an Android 4.x-6.x build (anything that supports Xposed framework) to verify mix/max values with the tools at hand. Might give that a whirl later today.

Thanks for this buttery smooth nougat experience. However, only after installing this Rom I have realized the complete lack of sim card support.

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

Trying to connect a bluetooth keyboard results in either nothing happening or "incorrect PIN".

I've been keeping an eye out since CM12.1, and seen post #256 here (among others). So I get the gist of the problem.

Anything I, as a common user, can do to help?

At the very least I can probably grab bhb27's Kernel Adiutor and have it lump together all the various logs after trying a series of connections. Or do the same on my phone, to see if this particular keyboard does anything outside the norm.
