Lol - I'm a 'senior' geek (in age) with a long history of deep dives. Use to crank out machine code for grins. I have slowly gravitated to keeping things simple with my gizmo collection saving the steroid driven nerd machine for things that truely warrent rolling up the sleeves. Still get a thrill from cracking tough issues. But most days I'd rather hang out with my little ones little ones. :)

Learning to code (principles; language is largely irrelevant) sets a solid foundation to wherever your studies might take you. Hope it works out.

I just installed SpeakerBoost from playstore. Maybe not high end, but very easy and great improvement.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] eximiusnl:
So in that case it is also not necessary to wipe the system partition? And if so, it is also not necessary to reinstall the GApps? Only install the update, clear cache/dalvik and reboot?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
For some ROMs and updates a 'dirty flash' works fine. CM/LinOS ROMs usually come with the recommendation to wipe system and reinstall related packages with the ROMs refresh. Google Play Services seems to be most impacted with dirty flashes on more recent CM/LinOS builds (v13 and 14.1). Can't hurt to try; worst outcome is having to reflash following a full system wipe ('clean flash').
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
I created a zip that installs the latest build of F-Droid and it's privileged extension, because the privileged extension can't be installed from F-Droid. Just flash in recovery and it will be installed as a system app. It works too, even tho F-Droid says it's incompatible with nougat. There's a zip provided by F-Droid and if u download it from the f-droid website and flash it, it works but installs older builds. So I took it and replaced the apks in it with the latest. I also renamed it to 2030 instead of 2020 (the version for privileged extension is 0.2.3) :P Oh and u should uninstall F-Droid first, I dunno but it might conflict with it
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
I don't recommend that. I use that store too but on nougat you'll get serious trouble if you install this extension.. Use automated download etc.. Only fault is manual press install...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
Aww oh well, every time I try to do something cool it ends up being stupid. It seems to function well, but I guess it's better to have a guarantee from F-Droid that it works for nougat

First of all thank you. I finally got some use out of my Kindle. 2 Noob questions -

1 - If I get a notification saying that I should update 'Google' from playstore, should I stay away from it?

2 - After flashing this ROM, I checked using Root Checker if it still showed that the device was rooted and it said that the device was improperly rooted. Is that normal?

- ok to update "Google" (presumably Google app) from Play Store

- you typically need to enable root under developer options in LinOS (Google is your friend if 'developer options' is not show at bottom of settings menu)

What about new 10th Amazon Appstore versions? It doesn't work again after update from the 8th version. I think Amazon knows about our build.prop hack.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Works fine on my device (Thor, v10.6, video 3.0.x) after the usual upgrade headaches. Be sure to remove prior versions before updating. Toss in a reboot between underground and video installs and possibly another after the latter. Build.prop tweak still needed and recognized. I doubt Amazon is watching the HDX needle (hacked legacy Fires) in the haystack of non-Amazon devices.

Experienced this periodically with LinOS and occationally with others for this device (HDX Thor); only KitKat builds appear to be totally immune. I set up a home screen shortcut/swipe with Nova before dropping back to LP/MM for Xposed support.

I agree that there is some debate as to the optimal set of GApps.

However, I would like to add to the OP a gapps-config with instructions for the "average" user on how to use it. I've seen too many a new users who go to install CM on their HDX and then have to Google around for the Play Games issue. I was looking to avoid that this time around.

Wifi bug:

After not using the tablet for a while it disconnects from wifi and is not able to find my access point anymore. Toggling flight mode on and off solves the problem. Toggling wifi does not.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I don't know what I'm missing or doing differently, but after installing nano gapps on apollo first with CM-13 and now with CM-14.1 I've never had any issues with neither Play Games, Maps or Keep.

Weird, I definitely find wifi on cm14.1 in general more reliable than it was with cm13. For example with cm13, I've had to connect to 2.4GHz radio, otherwise I did have issues with tablet dropping wifi frequently. With cm14.1 I tried to connect to 5GHz (ac) radio and it seems to have been working just fine so far.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:

Apollo seems to list discoverable devices just fine, but didn't pair to neither JBL speaker nor MPOW headphones. It did use to work in CM13. :( Not sure if that helps, but Bluetooth *something* Share has crashed during the unsuccessful pairing process (I accidentally dismissed the window).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Grtschnk:
BetterBatteryStats reports lot of msm_hsic_host wakelock time. Restarting does help a bit, but not really.

Maybe it is related to the wifi malfunction? Read somewhere this wakelock has something to do with radio.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Kernel wakelock that has plagued many different devices to varying degrees even with no mobile radio. If battery endurance is a concern try the interactive govonor (default is ondemand) possibly with additional tuning parameters. Obviously this won't reduce the number of occurrences but may mitigate the impact if one or more cores are being bumped.

As as aside the presence of this WL does not automatically correlate to event driven wake time or high battery consumption. When it happens and how the device responds determine the impacts.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Hashcode:
The wakelock time you are seeing is when the device comes out of low power mode to handle WiFi events. It *should* drop the wakelock after some time and re-enter low power mode. I'm more interested in the inotify errors that I'm seeing in the ath6klservice. Those are new to android-7.1 and are probably affecting WiFi.

As stated by stangri, I can confirm that pairing of bluetooth-devices like headsets etc. failed.

However, a wireless-bluetooth keyboard is working fine. Futuremore a bluetooth-mice works also.

This is odd. The setup wizard keeps crashing on me when I either choose to setup the tablet as new or try and restore from my Google account. I'm going to redownload the ROM and do a full wipe and flash to see if that changes anything.

UPDATE: Just redownloaded and flashed. Same issue. Trying 03-08 version now to see if that works. It did previously. Could Gapps be the issue? I'm downloading a fresh version of that now to see.

UPDATE 2: So if I clean flash the 4-15 update with no Gapps it boots and works fine. I flash Gapps after the fact and it appears to work. If I flash Gapps before the initial boot, it gets hung up in setup. Any ideas?

UPDATE 3: I just went in and deleted the setup wizard folder in TWRP and everything appears to be working fine.

UPDATE 4: Can't enable developer options though?

UPDATE 5: Reflashed with no Gapps and was able to boot, go through the LinOS steup, and then enable developer options. I have no idea what is making this as difficult as it is. I checked the md5 and all my downloads are good.

UPDATE 6: More of a data point here: I clean flashed the 3-08 version on LinOS with the most recent Gapps and setup went off without a hitch. There must be something in the most recent LinOS build that is borking the setup wizard is my assumption.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Beeko:
Bit of a workaround. You need to swipe down the notification bar as you close the crash screen. After that you go to settings->apps and click on menu->system apps then scroll down to setup wizard and force close it. Check the app and make sure it has all permissions enabled, after that go to WiFi settings and turn on WiFi but don't connect. Now you should be able to press back until you get back to setup​ wizard. Voila, it should work now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Yeah - had this happen on the Nexus MM ROM with 0420 GAaps Nano. Solution there was to adb install Nova launcher which instantly fixed the problem. Any 3rd party launcher would probably do; appears the hangup/crash occurs when setting up the default launcher (either Google or Trebuchet or whatever LinOS uses).

Hey!

Thank you guys for this great ROMs.

Unfourtnately at the first attempt I could not flash the 15APR LineageOS14.1 release for THOR. The previous one (Decemeber) was working.

In TWRP(3.1.0-0) I get this error when trying "Install" or adb sideload:

E3003: Can't install this package (Sat 15 Apr 09:17:50 BST 2017) over newer build (Mon 17 Apr 18:56:56 BST 2017) Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

What can I do?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
There is a known issue with the latest TWRP build (3.1.0-0) and some ROM zips including LinOS 14.1. Two solutions in addition to the one you found:

- roll back to TWRP 3.0.0-1

- apply the tweak documented here

#2 Try turning the brightness down to 1/4 the slider bar that's always bright enough for me, the screen kills the battery. Also try messing with the performance profiles in the battery options or try finding a root app for better battery performance.

Is it possible to flash without losing data? noobie question but...

Will try app for battery.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
Yeah just flash without wiping data, it's called dirty flashing. It's what u normally do when just updating a rom instead of installing for the first time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] arshileus:
Noob question again! How to flash? I don't remember. Power + vol up not works for me. Pow + vol down gets me in fastboot, where evetrhing is freezed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
Well the vol up should work but if u have problems go to developer options and enable advanced reboot then hold power off to get to the power off options thingy and tap restart then reboot into recovery. Tap the build version 7 times to enable developer options if u haven't already oh and in recovery use install to flash zips. Btw if u get an error 7 problem while flashing maybe davey126 can help u since he's the one that came up with a fix

Speaking of Davey126 can u supply me with a linos 14.1 zip for april 15th with the updater-script first line deleted, I don't really know how to use android kitchen. I screwed up by wiping the system partition in twrp thinking that could fix the error. Also arshileus u might want to use the zip too if he provides a link, I should have messaged him privately. Maybe tomorrow it's 1:30 where I'm at
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Necronomynus:
Thank you Davey 126 deleting the first Line in updater-script and TWRP3.1 worked well. It's located in

\META-INF\com\google\android

Just open the LOS14.1 Apr Zip-File and navigate to the previously mentioned folder and edit your updater-script file.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
I unzipped the file edited the updater-script file but after I ziped it back it said invalid zip file format when flashing. Don't I need to use android image kitchen for this? I've never used it before
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Definately don't need Image Kitchen! Just extract zip contents, modify updater-script as directed, repackage and flash. Try a different zip management tool if you are getting errors. Some of the better ones allow you work with individual files vs the entire archive.

I tend to perform this type of work on a speedy host (eg: Win 10) but it's perfectly doable on Android.

Of course rolling back to TWRP 3.0.0-1 or simply booting that version from fastboot (regardless if which version is installed) is the easier option.

If you're adventurous give FlashFire a whirl. On my to-do list for this device. No reason it shouldn't work but need to do a little more reading to insure compatibility.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Not sure why you mention/use lucky patcher. Frowned upon at XDA...even for benign purposes as there are other tools that are equally effective.

LinOS for this device does not come with GAaps backed in. I always flash the latest nano build with a install/update. Mitigates a lot of problems that never happened. You can always install additional Google properties from the Play Store and (optionally) migrate them to the system partition. I would stay away from a custom install config as there seems to be issues surrounding their use (based on user reports w/Fire devices).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] CocoBun:
Heh, I see why there's so many things u can do to cheat developers with it. Anyways I fixed it using the mini open gapps and got play games from apkmirror and installed to system.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] blade22:
how is the battery life in this ROM ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
All of the custom ROMs for this device realize power utilization consistent with the underlying version of Android. LineageOS is based on Android 7.1 and thus reflects the latest (and arguably best) native power management capabilities.

Don't get drawn into the faux belief that well packaged ROMs have a significant impact on battery life. Kernels, configuration, settings (eg: panel brightness), apps and user behavior are the biggest factors impact power utilization along with underlying device characteristics.
