Observed/erratic behavior on battery level is typically with an older pack that is starting to decay, especially as voltage drops (last 25% or so). Sampling rate also comes into play as the status bar icon is not updated in real time. Pack temperature can also be an influencer which becomes more noticeable as battery ages. I have seen percentages rise 10% or more on an older battery as it warms.

Recommend replacing battery?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
You'll have a hard time finding a quality replacement; anything available today will be at least four years old regardless of what the seller claims. Not to mention the difficulty of cracking open the case (lots of glue) and increased risk damage or cracking the screen. Just live with it as-is.

okay, I now have a Linux system setup. ubuntu 18.10 500gb hdd and 2tb hdd, 8gb ram, intel core i5 at 3ghz quad. no windows o.s, just ubuntu. ive been reading guids on porting and building and I built los 16 for klte as a learning step. I want to port los 16 to the kindle fire hdx. any help or advise from anyone will be welcome. if I can get a build to work, ill open a file host account and upload it for all. in the mean time, as I understand it, I can port 16 from another device with the same chipset. is there anyone who is willing to help me through this process?

Good luck. The most knowledgeable HDX resource (years of experience) continues to face difficulty spinning up Android 8.x based ROMs. At issue is interfacing with the peculiar and largely undocumented 2012 era OEM kernel. Panel orientation and radio integration have been particularly challenging.

GPU in this pup is anemic - both in terms of performance and capability. That leaves the lion share of rendering work to the CPU. Good chance all cores are pegged at max frequency during game play.

Good Luck, perhaps you can start a separate thread to detail your progress so others might be able to follow, learn and eventually help you. The project does sound interesting. Over the years I compiled many linux programs but only by following detailed instructions such as those for ffmpeg ( https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu ).

Many thanks for continuing to update the Apollo Lineage ROM :good:

Looks / works great with the Pixel launcher

Camera still not saving images & bluetooth still has connection issues (same as previous build)

Regarding bluetooth headphones, my technique is:

- kill any apps using the speakers

- turn on bluetooth on HDX

- turn on headphones (I'm assuming device has remembered from a previous connection)

- quickly double tap power button on headphones as they come on

Seems to work most times for me - might help someone?!

If anyone is desperate for camera function I did find a fix. I don't have any idea about the security or safety implications of this method, so please look into that. [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] developed an app called selinuxswitch. If you install that, and set selinux to permissive the camera functions perfectly.

I have tested and this does work. Have not noticed anything bad going on except clash of clans app no longer works in either mode and play games app wont install from play store. Dont know if it related but.... Camera has full functionality.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] draxie:
Freaking awesome!! ;^)

Now, we'd only need to monitor the logs for violations (which should still be recorded in permissive mode),

and figure out the right way to tag files/devices and create a policy that allows the camera to function even

with SELinux in enforcing mode (which should fix issues with other SW). Does Android have 'audit2why'??

(See the section on `Monitoring Logs` in the Beginner’s guide to SELinux.)

I wonder if SELinux is also to blame for 4G/LTE not working... Probably not, since that was already borked

before moving on to ROMs with SELinux running in enforcing mode, but I'd be interested to hear, in case

someone with a cellular HDX is willing to test. Unfortunately, my LTE Apollo was the victim of a messed up

battery replacement, and my other devices are WiFi-only...

Installed the latest Apollo ROM lineage-11-20181221-UNOFFICIAL-apollo.zip without issue. Unable to get gapps to install. I'm getting an error that it's the wrong version. I attempted to install version open_gapps-arm64-7.1-mini-20190428.zip. Also tried an older version of the same file dated 20180327.zip.

Not sure what the issue is. Any help appreciated.

Well... the issue is exactly what the error says.

You need to select arm instead of arm64...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Reverse-anastomosis:
This is not the most up to date ROM. Scroll to the bottom and choose the latest lineage 14.1 download. Unless you want 11 for some reason?

Edit: if you do want lineage 11 for some reason then you need to install gapps for KitKat, android 4.4.x. Lineage 14.1 is nougat, which is android 7.1
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] rootnooby:

No previews pictures / covers in Amazon Prime Video App

Does anyone know why the amazon prime video app does not show any covers? I have a fire hdx 7 and I already tried out other roms like the Lineage 13 or AospExtended and it`s the same problem there. The videos in the prime video app can be played but there`s no preview pic - also not for the actors - it seems that the pics are filtered.

Another problem I have is that I cannot find Netflix in the Playstore. Gapps nano for Android 7 are installed.

Can anyone help me? :(

I also can't help with the amazon prime issue, as I don't use that app. Netflix doesn't show up because of google safetynet I think. You can get the apk directly from the Netflix website, or through the yalp store.

I wanted to share this here in response to some posts about saftynet and apps not being shown in the play store due to uncertified. Either follow the instructions from the link or install the app called device id. Get your google service framework number and goto this site https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/

Enter your number and hit enter. Your device is now registered. Now close out and force stop on google play store, clear data and reboot. You should now be able to see your missing apps and be able to use apps that was being blocked due to the device being uncertified.

Note: You only need to do this one time per device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Yep. Works with most, but not all, apps. I have a handful if mainstream apps that I must source from other repositories (usually another Nougat device or APKMirror) as the Play Store make erroneous claims regarding compatibility. Exceptionally annoying.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] MarvinMod:
I understand but i haven't had that issue and i run custom on all my families devices. 7 of them. 5 tablets, 2 phones and all different models. Theres only one im not happy with. The kindle fire hd 3rd gen currently has evervolv rom because cm12 has no sound and apps crashing. Evervolv gallery app crashes but works along with everything else but im partial to lineage. Gapps seem to slow the devices. Those were the only two roms i could find for it but the stock os had issues. It be nice to do away with gapps and still use the apps that i use.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
I think the salient points are:

- registering devices w/custom ROMs is best practice

- that said, registering does not insure 100% Play Store compatibility relative to 'stock' devices (plenty of independent reports to substantiate this statement)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] cl-i:
Amazon don't like CustomRoms on Fire hardware.

To get the Prime Video App and also the Amazon App store running, you have to tweak the build.prop

I set

ro.product.manufacturer = x_amazn_x

ro.product.device = Thor!

ro.product.model = hdx7

I use a build.prop Editor App.

Download version 5.2.21 from uptodown

Then update from the play store. I don't use the app, so I'm not sure it is 100% functional, but it seems to be installed and runs without crashing. If you try it out please let me know if it is fully functional.

Or as in this thred is noted, when wifi goes out usually after screen is off for a while, turn airplane mode on then back off and wifi will reconnect. Another help is to set wifi settings to keep wifi on during sleep and always in during charge, but the latter, turn airplane mode on and off.

Trouble installing

I am coming from ggow's Marshmallow ROM after unlocking my bootloader from the most recent Amazon firmware.

I have the 64gb, 8.9 inch model, so i downloaded Apollo files

I made a backup from the TWRP cubed that was part of the boot loader unlock process.

I supposedly installed the TWRP from the CM 14.1 download page using Flashify

It kept booting to fastboot but I could still boot into the 6.0 ROM

I reinstalled the TWRP 3.0.2 from the unlock thread

I tried installing the CM 14,1 TWRP recovery from within the existing TWRP 3.0.2 but it gave me an error indicating the partition was too small.

so, I wiped data, cache, and system within the existing TWRP and tried to install the zip of CM14.1

a couple of red lines during installation that apparently were logged. 'unsupported function?'

reboots and stuck at blue alien head

tried reboot a few times

restored backup and here i am

any next steps?

EDIT i think i found the log

http://pastebin.com/caGSmqJg

EDIT 2: downloaded an app and verified the checksum on my downloaded CM14.1 recovery file and it matches. So file should be good

EDIT 3: Downloaded TWRP 3.0.2-0 from the other forum section and the install and boot process completed. Never managed to install the recovery from the CM download page. Too big. Apparently, my recovery partition is only 10meg

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Gonna toss this out with no testing/verification on CM 14.1 but it has worked with other HDX ROMs experiencing general rotation issues (assumes 13.3.2.3 bootloader update has been applied): install Nova launcher and enable 'auto-rotate' under Look and Feel. Not sure why this worked in the past as it likely utilizes the same kernel underpinnings as Launcher3 and Trebuchet. Easy enough to try and revert.

Most WiFi issues should be addressed by previously referenced bootloader update (here). Follow instructions in OP or use Flashify to install. Strongly recommend verifing md5 before flashing. A corrupt image will permanently brick the device and likely ruin your day.

I know I haven't tested this enough yet, just throwing it out there.

It looks like the BT audio playback choppiness I've experienced earlier is linked to being connected to 2.4GHz n-wifi station. When I connect to a 5GHz ac-wifi station, there's no problem with audio playback over BT. So far I've only tried Plex client and one BT speaker, but I'll try others apps on tablet, other BT devices and if I still have the problem I'll try to update bootloader to ggow's one which Davey has linked a few posts above.
