WIP

Firstly apologies if you are building lineage-14.1 source using my repos. I am shortly going to finish refactoring the amazon blobs amongst other things. The hdx-common repo will now contain the larger proportion of common binaries. While the thor and apollo repos now carry a smaller number of specific binaries. This is already making it easier to work with. I have also categorised them by function.

Also been working on getting the LTE working. I have the radio now responding but not working through the android interface. Looking at logcat I can see the radio now reporting signal strength and that I have vodafone sim card installed. Now looking at how I fully integrate this into the nougat RIL/android. The android settings interface currently shows no simcard and no baseband.

Once I've finished with the overhaul. I'll make another release and sync any outstanding commits to the repos.

Progress Update

Good news is that I have got closer to making LTE work (screenshots attached)

The statusbar and sim status in settings in android are showing / seeing the sim card

Android seems to be recognising the correct network now.

TODO: There is a cross next to the LTE icon

TODO: dataflow from the radio to a browser

TODO: Show baseband version

Will keep posted on any major progress.

LTE: It Works!

Sorry to post again so soon.

I just got LTE working :)

Tested on Thor. (Need to do an Apollo build).

I will do a little clean up then do a new release.

I haven't got an LTE Apollo so interested if anyone can test for me.

New Build is Up - Read Carefully

- Dated 23 July 2019

- Patches up to 05 July 2019

- LTE is working and tested on thor

- Can someone test on apollo LTE device and report back?

- I have done basic sanity checks on apollo build and it seems good

- TODO: If LTE fails to come up within 3 minutes then "SHUTDOWN" and then cold power on again

- TODO: Baseband version is not currently shown in settings app

- TODO: IMEI number not showing in settings app

- Upgraded blobs to FireOS 1314-4.5.5.3_user_455006820 (latest)

- Remove separate repository for adreno

- Remove separate repository for widewine

- hdx-common now contains all common blobs shared between apollo and thor

- apollo and thor now only contain a small number of device specific files

- the "proprietary-files.txt" files in each device repo has all been organised and categorised by function.

- the standard lineage helper scripts for extracting blobs is now utilised

- import wan binaries from Saturn HDX

- import ril shared libs from Saturn HDX

- import qualcomm framework from Saturn HDX

- import ims framework from Saturn HDX

- import qualcomm time framework from Saturn HDX

- import omx libs (wip) from Saturn HDX

- import qti-telephony-common.jar from oppo 8974

- shim libcrypto.so

- shim libgui.so

- remove duplicate entry in overlay which was disabling wifi display

- build RIL libs from source

- inherit LTE data only config from cm (our devices do not support voice)

- remove compat-wireless driver from hdx-common repository

- bring LV.HB.1.1.6_rb1.10 branch of compat-wireless from:

https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/platform/external/compat-wireless

- compat-wireless driver for HDX will now live here:

https://github.com/ggow/android_device_amazon_hdx-common_compat-wireless

- This will make it easier to maintain the ath3k and ath6k drivers

- the wireless module is now compiled as wlan.ko so no need to symlink any longer

- build wcnss_service from source

- TODO: I have noted that mpeg2, hevc and various other media files don't play, I checked FireOS

with the same video files and it was the same experience

- TODO: bluetooth will be looking into this in detail soon

- tagged all repos with "lineage-14.1-20190723-UNOFFICIAL"

That is strange, I clean flashed on Apollo and Thor and booted just fine although you have to be patient on the first boot as it takes an age. I only run the devices with the ROM alone with root enabled in the settings app.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Seen this before. You gonna think I'm nuts (my spouse is convinced for other reasons) but power down between wipe and clean flash. Works a treat on one of my finicky Thors. I have three; each exhibits a slightly different personality.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Reverse-anastomosis:
I don't know anything about the lineage 11rom, I have never used it. The 14.1 ROM comes rooted. All you have to do is click on build number 7 times to enable developer options. Then developer options will appear in settings. You can enable root in developer options.

No, and WiFi issues are also present on AEX although less severe IME. This is a hardware issue that manifests in mixed 2.4/5 GHz environments. Eliminate one of those sources and spontaneous disconnects stop.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] loos3id:
I'm having really slow wifi performance on the 23Jul2019 ROM. I'd rather not eliminate a band and have 5 GHz for my smart TV, and I have others devices that only use 2.4 GHz Is anything else to improve performance?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
WiFi performance has generally not been an issue with stock FireOS or any of the custom ROMs for HDX devices. Have you run a throughout test? What do ping times and jitter look like?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] loos3id:
My pings and jitter vary alot on the new ROM ... wifi seems unstable for me. I went back to the 03Jul2019 ROM through a dirty install and wifi works great.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Interesting. Could be related to some of the Saturn substitutions. Think I will stay put until sorted.

Nothing to do with substitution from Saturn. I am building a new branch of compat-wireless. Will improve as I start to resolve issues with the new driver. There are a lot of errors in logcat relating to the previous version of the driver too.

Logcat
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Well that explains it; probably should have held my tongue. On that note best to remain a consumer vs contributor of irrelevant speculation.

what's logcat?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] gwardsc65:
Logcat command-line tool

Logcat is a command-line tool that dumps a log of system messages, including stack traces when the device throws an error and messages that you have written from your app with the Log class.

This page is about the command-line logcat tool, but you can also view log messages from the Logcat window in Android Studio. For information about viewing and filtering logs from Android Studio, see Write and View Logs with Logcat.

Command-line syntax

To run logcat through the adb shell, the general usage is:

[adb] logcat [<option>] ... [<filter-spec>] ...

Sometimes Google still works.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
If anyone is experiencing drops in WiFi etc then please take a logcat whilst the issue is occurring and post it.

With thor and apollo connected to a Asus Router (RT-AC86U) I experience no drops in connection. This is with Keep Wifi connected whilst asleep set to always in the settings app.

With that setting set to never it seems to not recover itself and requires manual intervention to get it going again. I am looking into this.

I also experience extreme WiFi drops with the 23/Jul/2019 ROM. Drops were each time I wanted to access the Internet, basically every minute. Immediately went back to the previous release which has no WiFi drops at all.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] tb205gti:
Considering switching from the ASOP Extended build for my kids' Thor devices - due to the poor charging on that rom.

Will this rom support faster charging than 0.5A ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
ROM does not control charge rate; kernel does. During the year I ran AEX the observed charge max rate on two devices was ~1.8A which is the upper HW limit of ~9W on both HDX generations.

Not sure why your device is charging so slowly. I have seen the 'fast charge' capability permanently disabled after a HDX is accidentally connected to a QC (Quick Charge) 2.0 or better brick that can deliver more than 5V. It seems some of these chargers do not properly identify HDX hardware and ramp up to 9V which eventually damages the HDX charging circuitry.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pttptuan:
replace your cable and charger and try again

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] tb205gti:
I tried all my cables -and apparently almost all of them will not charge more than 0.5A. I did find two cables that gave me 1.5A though - so not a limitation in the kernel.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Glad you found the culprit. Most USB cables are crap, including factory originals. Most don't believe it until they run into a situation like yours or can't communicate via ADB or fastboot. A sketchy cable will often work fine in some contexts while failing in others.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobcat131:
The new release for both the thor and apollo will not boot for me after a wipe and TWRP install. Is there a catch?. I waited almost an hour and it still is on the logo animation. Why is this?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Be sure to select system and data partitions under advanced wipe. Then wipe cache and dalvik after flashing LOS (and whatever else you wish to include) when exiting TWRP. Note LOS won't boot if the bootloader is locked. I assume you are past that.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Reverse-anastomosis:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] AlUrNiMa:
I had last years release pre-installed (August 2018...I think)...but didn't really use that so I can't compare.

But with the 2019 latest July and latest September Release WiFi is basically unusable. (Thor Device)

I tried different Routers/Hotspots. Turned off 5Ghz/2.4Ghz manually in the Routers...always same issues:

"Connection Error"

"Failed to Connect"

-Doesn't detect the Wifi at all especially on 5Ghz (randomly appears and disappears)-

-Troughput very low sometimes (1-5Mbit, when there are stable 450Mbit available at all time)-

-Dropping Connection for no "reason" a lot of times-

Can we help you find the error/fix somehow? :)

(Other than that Wifi-Bug I really like the ROM, Battery seems fine, Performance very nice for such an old Tablet, I just bought it used)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Given the WiFi problems, I am moving branch, back to the previous version of the compat-wireless driver. This will become "cm-14.1".

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] : You're doing a phantastic job and a big favour to all HDX fans.

The tablet runs like hell, and most of us will not believe, that the HDX is a 2013 model.

The biggest problem for me with the tablet is WIFI. I'm also using the ASUS RT-AC86U, upgrading from the RT-N66U. For wifi-range reason, I'm only using the 2.4 band, fixed to channel 11.

While this works fine for all my equipment, the HDX fails to auto-reconnect to my WIFI, after a first-time connection loss occures. Rebooting solves the issue. The kitkat roms don't show this behavoir.

Perhaps we shoud do a survey to to narrow down the error?

I'm not using bluetooth on the HDX. When activating it with latest "new" version, the bluetooth app crashes continuesly.

So once again : Big thanks and 1000 thumbs up !!
