I have been testing a new version of this ROM with signature spoofing enabled to make it compatible with the micro-g framework. The difference to battery life running with micro-g Vs gapps is phenomenal. The next builds will in include the required patches so you try it out too on the next release. No noticeable battery drain overnight at all on two Thor's and Apollo.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
If updating from a previous build of this ROM simply flash (install) the latest build without wiping the system or data partitions. I recommend including a suitable (and updated) GAaps package along with the refresh, although this isn't always necessary. My experience suggests better outcomes when it is included; YMMV.

First of all, mega thanks to Hashcode and Ggow for all their hard work! Much appreciated!

I have successfully rooted, unlocked and installed this LineageOS rom on my HDX 8.9" 3rd gen. Yay!

My question is: will I free up more space if I use fastboot to do a wipe and flash the rom? (I used TWRP before)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
No - unless you are counting a few MB here and there. Partition wipes (data and system) from TWRP are sufficient. You can go after Internal Storage which may eliminate some personal content from a previous install which you may or may not want and also may not apply to FireOS (been away from FireOS v4 too long). See this article for a quick explanation or Google for a better one.

You said you would change the device model to KFHDX but you never got around to it, how come? I've had it that way for months and never had a problem, so it should be ok.

Hi guys,

i have just got a Kindle Fire HDX 7" KFTHWI (Wi-Fi) (Codename Thor) from a friend.

Now it is running Android 4.2.2 with Bootstrap Recovery 3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0). When i look up at the forum, it was something very old (like 3 years ago).

I don't think it has an unlocked bootloader.

Now i want to install LOS 14.1 on it. What do you guys suggest me to do?

Thanks in advanced.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
Read a bit more -- there's an excellent thread on unlocking and flashing 3rd party ROMS in this forum.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
You posted the same question (exact same wording) in two different threads. Annoying. Following the guidance here to unlock the bootloader and update TWRP. You'll probably need the drivers from here. I

strongly

encourage you to preform step #2 first and then return to step #1 and #3. Once the bootloader is unlocked you can flash LineageOS 14.1 from this tread. Ask questions as needed. Better to seek clarification first vs trying to solve a nasty problem that may result from a mistake.

Note the contents of your device including bootstrap/firmware/recovery/rom versions are irrelevant to the procedure referenced above. Be sure to backup you device if there is any personal content you would like to retain.

thanks for your answer, i got this Rom installed any feel it good sofar.

But when i watch Youtube, it doesn't rotate to landscape in full mode.

Do you or anyone faces the same issues?

i saw that in the OP, but every one has the same Youtube issues

I got Lineage 14.1 installed with micro-g working, but some of my apps won't install because it says the device is incompatible. This didn't happen when I installed Open GAPPS. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Not sure if this is related, but in the micro-g settings the box that says "Play Services (GmsCore) has correct signature" is unchecked.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
- try changing device model to KFHDX in build.prop (unlikely to help but easy to try; reboot required)

- sideload from APKMirror

My understanding is some changes are required in the ROM build to fully support micro-g. Developer is working on that; no ETA but likely soon.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Maverick777:

This free app (without adverts!) set to full auto, fixes rotation problem.: its called set orientation
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
There are a handful of apps that do the same thing - some better than others. Xposed based options work best but obviously aren't available on Nougat unless running one of the Franken-Frameworks that have sprung up in recent months. My go-to is "own orientation" which requires Xposed.

Set orientation was last updated in 2012 when Android 3.x (Honeycomb) was all the rage. Keep that in mind of things get funky.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
Speaking of franken-frameworks the magisk systemless xposed 87.3 version works very well with this device, I'm still waiting for the greenify developer to add support for xposed through the magisk xposed module so boost mode would work on nougat. I saw them say it was being worked on. Although the versions before 87.3 don't work and bootloops so stay away from that (in the magisk support thread it explains how to fix probs caused by modules so if u need check that out). Only thing is that it stops from being able to bypass safetynet but xposed does that no matter what

Hello everyone.

I just received a HDX 7 (Thor) that is running on fw 4.5.5.2

The Amazon OS seems a little bit restricting and I started looking for possibilities on how to install a custom rom and bumped into Lineage here.

One of my questions concerning this rom is, do I get to keep the Amazon app store with its access to "actually free underground apps"?

Just asking since I enjoyed the thought of being able to replay Star Wars Kotor for free.

If not the advantages of an actual Android rom will still outweigh the restrictive native OS.

Now for the process of installing a custom rom here is the information I gathered so far:

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-4-5-5-2-easy-to-root-unlock-t3571240

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3322547

Step 1: unlocking the bootloader

What would be the best step by step guide for me considering the device is on 4.5.5.2?

Step 2: installing TWRP

Step 3: flashing rom

The last steps seem pretty straight forward to me once I get the hard part of unlocking the bootloader right.

Did I miss anything or is there anything I still need to gather information upon before delving into this project?

Any form of guidance will be highly appreciated.

Maybe you need fire driver from Amazon.

Writing from a HDX 7 ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
As you didn't mention being rooted you may find this thread a little more comprehensive. They both converge on the same basic steps so no worries about which is best. You'll also need drivers for the host platform. Install from here if working with Windows. Yep, they are for a completely different device but have proven 100% with HDX and far better than those supplied by Amazon. Good luck; ask questions as needed.

[MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION]

You are right, the device is not rooted, was only used with stock fw up to now.

Should I use the kingroot apk or windows application for rooting the tablet for the first time?

Maybe it's just me but I cant seem to open the hyperlink to the drivers in your post.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Sorry about the link; should work now. Suggest using the app version. Note KingRoot is fairly unsophisticated (aside from being borderline malware) in its attempts to identify a potential Android vulnerability and matching exploit. You may need to run it multiple times. Also note root is not strictly required to unlock the bootloader but the alternative gets a bit technical and can yield a soft (recoverable) brick if not executed correctly. Best try KingRoot first.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Maverick777:
Just a little feedback now that I've had micro-g working for a few days. The standby battery life is fantastic. It only drained 11% over 24 hours. Incredible!

This rom plus micro-g has breathed new life into my HDX. Thanks for all the hard work! This device now feels like a modern tablet. It's always had the hardware. Now the software has caught up and made the device the wonderful Android tablet it's always wanted to be. :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Wylver:
I didn't have any luck with the Kingroot app and got annoyed cause it slowed down the tablet after 2 tries or so.

So I went through the steps described by draxie here.

I have flashed the vulnerable aboot and cubed twrp as told in the step by step guide.

Unfortunately i forgot to create an unlock.code with the get_code script.

My understanding is that i still need to unlock the bootloader.

How do I do this?

I'm in the recovery and if I reboot to system I enter fastboot.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Assuming recovery means TWRP you should be able to transfer (via tether) and install this ROM which does not require an unlocked bootloader. Once booted you should then be able to generate an unlock code openning the door to the full suite of custom ROMs.

One last thing, where do I find the factory reset in twrp?

And how many checkboxes am I allowed to tick under advanced wipe to clean the tablet as best as possible (dalvik, data, internal storage, cache, system)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
- under wipe menu (slider at bottom)

- factory reset is simply a subset of options under advanced wipe

- system, data, cache, dalvik; internal storage if adventurous
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Wylver:
Everything went fine and the tablet is sporting Lineage OS now.

Feels very good and suits the tablet well.

Only problem so far is google play games.

I've installed gapps nano and tried the workaround described by hashcode in the first post.

Not sure if it only works with gapps mini and upwards but with the modified gapps nano, the twrp refused to install and displayed something saying Error 2.

Only a non modified version of gapps nano was installable.

Solution for me for the google play games app was downloading the apk and installing it manually.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
This is certainly the most straight forward solution. A minor shortcoming is Play Games now resides in the data/user partition vs system partition. That said, it works and updates fine.

I had some play with Bluetooth, and want to share my experiences:

First, I tried to pair my BT speakers. They were detected, but pairing failed. After several attempts though, pairing suddenly worked. This may or may not be related with me playing with BT on/off, Wifi on/of and flight mode on/off. Since then, the speakers work without problems.

Next, I tried to pair my BT keyboard. This was a lot more trouble, as it requires a 6-digit pairing key. Often, the pairing failed before that, and even if I could get to the code request, the code wasn't accepted or said to be wrong.

After lots of tries, I thought maybe give BT some more to do, so I started playing back music on my BT speakers while pairing the keyboard again, and: Worked after the second try! And just like the speakers, now that the keyboard is paired, it works flawless.

To me, it looks like some power saving issue, like the BT chip going to deep sleep while pairing or something like that. Maybe there's a chance to find a workaround there.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
You can certainly rollback Lineage in the same manner as applying an update. Whether that resolves the Silk browser crashing issue is another matter as it's not designed to work outside the FireOS environment and certainly not with Android 7.x. You should consider an alternative on Lineage as there are many fine options in the Play Store. Everyone has heard of Chrome and FireFox but you'll also do well with Dolphin and Opera/Opera Mini to name a couple of the bigger players.
