I have installed the latest build 19th November and I cant connect my Bluetooth headset I have read the threads previous posts on this issue, I just wanted to ask if it was still a known problem?

180 degrees screen flip

Just got a HDX 7 today day and have really been enjoying this rom except for the fact that the screen is 180 flipped so the volume keys are wonky to use.

I tired using ro.sf.hwrotation=180 which put the image correct but none of the touch controls updated (touch was reversed mirrored to the image.)

Is there another way to fix this?

Thank you for your time, and happy holidays!

[MENTION=5207908]Skinpipe[/MENTION], there are still known problems with Bluetooth, due to old drivers. I was finally able to get my Bluetooth headset to connect.

Turned off WiFi.

I paired my phone with the hdx, and sent an image file to keep the connection active, then repeatedly attempted to pair the headset with the hdx. It took about 10 tries but it finally connected.

Once it paired the first time, it wasn't an issue to reconnect.

@ccdrop, which build are you using? There was a new build released a few days ago that has issues with screen rotation. The previous build has fairly decent screen rotation function.

Comments in addition to those by [MENTION=9533319]Reverse-anastomosis[/MENTION]:

- problem appears related to security handshake regardless if pairing code is actually needed

- disabling the WiFi radio during initial pairing attempts often helps

- some prefer airplane mode (manually toggle the BT radio)

- pairing an input device such as a BT mouse facilitates pairing output devices

- rebooting can clear a 'frozen' radio but is by no means an elixir

- verify you are using this build

- some apps will continue to exhibit rotational issues even with a stable build; fortunately there is an easy/effective workaround. Post back if you need/want the details.

Hello, i'm using lineage-14.1-20181119-UNOFFICIAL-thor build, and i'm trying to fully unroot my tablet(simply to open apps with root detection)

I tried to flash patch from some fgo thread , yet it didn't worked, for me at least.

My goal is to remove my root(somehow i have it looks like, i disabled Developer Options)

How to check(and actually change if it doesn't changed) these props:

Default.prop

Ro.secure = 1 Ro.allow.mock.location = 0 Ro.debuggable = 0 Persist.sys.usb.config = mtp

Build.prop

Ro.build.type = user

Thanks you.

OK. It looks like Magisk is going to be your best bet. I don't use it myself, so I'm no help there. If you look through the thread it looks like Magisk works on Thor.

You can also try turning root off in developer options. I'm not clear on whether you have done that for sure. I doubt that will fix it though, as I don't think lineage on Thor will pass safetynet without Magisk.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] AsakuraVN:
Is it possible to use substratum or any other app for a dark UI on this rom? I tried with substratum & got in a boot loop, had to reflash the whole thing again.

Also, I've tried to run FGO with this rom, couldn't do it with magisk (canary build, hidden MM, safetynet passed, no procgate leaks & all that). However running the magisk uninstaller with root option turned off in the developer options does work for some reason.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ActuallyWantToPlayFGO:
In the end, i did some mistakes(my Magisk duped when i tried to repack it after changing build to custom), deleted Magisk and FGO started working.

Just wanted to update on the Bluetooth issue. I bought a used HDX Thor, used draxie's 1-Click utility, the flashed the latest lineage ROM and gapps. I struggled getting my bluetooth headset to pair, but eventually with enough messing around i finally got it to pair...20+ tries.

I bought another thor for the kids to play with, and armed with previous knowledge and additional reading I did the following process: 1-Click, lineage+gapps. With the Thor plugged in and charging at about 80%, WiFi and Bluetooth on; I paired it with my phone. It paired on the first try. I then sent a small audio file from the Thor to my phone. While it was sending, I put my Bluetooth headset into pairing mode. I hit refresh in the Bluetooth options screen on Thor, and my headset paired immediately... One try not a single problem.

I don't know if this was a fluke, or if this is the magic sequence, but I'd love to see if it works for anyone else.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
My experience is similar when initially paired with a BT mouse. While moving the mouse attempt to pair second device; usually works on the first attempt.

FGO wouldn't play is more due to not certified Play Protect. This is the case for a few number of games, I don't think you can do much about it. I tried FGO before and even without root it wont work

Can we put androi one on this device?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Not at present nor likely going forward. Really no benefit as existing Nougat based ROMs are relatively lean and adaptable. Going to an Android 8/9+ core is a significant challenge due to age of hardware and kernel. This pup will likely be happiest on Android 7 as the terminal ROM base.

I got TWRP from this link and installed lineage-11-20181221-UNOFFICIAL-thor.zip and WiFi wouldn't turn on for me so I tried lineage-11-20181130-UNOFFICIAL-thor.zip and that worked great. But it says in Settings it's based on KitKat 4.4.4 ... is that expected since it said it's 7.x ... I had to go back and get the 4.4 OpenGApps so I feel like I did something wrong but not sure where I went wrong.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Reverse-anastomosis:
The latest lineage isn't based on KitKat...its just that the last official ROM for this device was KitKat based, so some of the device specific stuff like WiFi and Bluetooth come from that build.

The latest lineage build for this device is nougat based. It is at the bottom of ggows file host, not the top. Here is a direct link https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603854163

Another BT pairing trick

There's a workaround for pairing a BT headset that requires another Android device and root access. Pair the headset with the 2nd device. On the 2nd device, browse to /data/misc/bluedroid/ and open bt_config.conf. There will be a section with the device info. It looks like this

[BT headset MAC goes here]
Timestamp = 1503415790
Name = LG HBS810
DevClass = 2360324
DevType = 1
AddrType = 0
Manufacturer = 0
LmpVer = 0
LmpSubVer = 0
LinkKeyType = 4
PinLength = 0
LinkKey = YOUR LINK KEY GOES HERE
Service = 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 00001108-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 0000110e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb 00000000-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

Copy this section to the same file on the HDX, save, and reboot. Now you can connect to the device without pairing. Some older Android versions use an xml file instead, so modify as necessary to match the format above.

If this doesn't work for you, try a LinkKey from a 3rd device. On Linux, look at the file contents under /var/lib/bluetooth/[BT Adaptor MAC]/[BT Headset MAC]/. Windows users can find LinkKeys for paired devices somewhere in the registry.

Occasionally I have to turn off and on both the HDX BT and the headset to get a connection. I hope this helps some of you make your HDX more usable.

The camera is missing the save location. I understand the Apollo only has internal storage so there would be no need to change it but the option is missing. Maybe the reason the camera dont work is because it dont point to a save location.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Symptomatic of a locked bootloader. While most custom roms will install on a locked HDX root and other features will not load/work as intended.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Bluetooth pairing issues have been a 'feature' of all custom HDX ROMs based on Android 5+ due to Amazonkernel restrictions and lack of documentation. 4+ years. That probably isn't going to change.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] MarvinMod:
My bootloader is not locked and copied the file for Bluetooth from my s5 with los 16 as instructed in another quote and i have not had issues since. Im able to connect all my devices via Bluetooth without issue since i copied the file. The only thing i have issues with now are the camera and magisk but i think magisk is because this is a prerooted rom. Im stuped on the camera but did find that in facebook messenger, in a conversation, if you use the send picture option and the choose one if them goofy overlays, it will take a picture and save but if you try it with the normal option, same app just no overlay, it crashes. So if i have bunny ears or a magic hat, i can take pics, lmao :laugh:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Interesting finds and workarounds. Older Magisk builds did work on this ROM if other posts are accurate. I opted to roll with SuperSU 2.82 SR5 for its simplicity/reliability.

As previously suggested the needle probably isn't going to move on this aging platform unless another dev with more time takes an interest.

I'd be extremely interested to learn more about that magic file you copied.

Could you post its name and hash (or the file itself, if that's OK)?

That would be very useful and much appreciated.

As for the bootloader, are you absolutely positive it's unlocked? Could you post proof?

The symptom does seem to match the unlocked case, exactly as [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] pointed out.

I've just tested this on an Apollo with Magisk installed. After 'fastboot oem relock', the

device got stuck on the grey 'kindle fire' logo. Since the Kindle was now locked, booting

back to fastboot by Power+VolDn didn't work. Luckily, booting to TWRP first (Pwr+Up)

did work, allowing to reboot to the bootloader and unlock again. With the bootloader

unlocked, the device continued to boot to AEX as normal...

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Okay for one, i unlocked the bootloader myself and i did not relock it, and two, there is no magic file. Read through these posts. A post from someone else said to copy a file from data/misc/bluedroid/bt_config.bak from another device thats had a device successfully connected to the same directory in the fire. I deleted the one in fire and replaced it with the one from my s5. Rebooted and have had no issues with bluetooth since.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] draxie:
Or, you think you did. You wouldn't be the first.

Post proof, or it never happened... ;^P

If you don't know what might qualify as proof,

then you most likely haven't actually unlocked.

BTW, I'm only pushing you for your own sake.

I don't particularly care if you had unlocked for

real or simply happen to be misguided, but the

Newbie with an attitude...

I never said you were a newbie, but you do appear to be inexperienced

when it comes to the HDX. The info you posted is inconsequential when

it comes to determining whether or not your bootloader is unlocked, since

device-info gives the *exact same* result even if the bootloader is locked.

See the attached photo for proof and hints...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Reverse-anastomosis:

The hdx is a unique device. Custom ROMs can be flashed even when the bootloader is locked. In fact, if you botch getting your unlock code during the unlock its no big deal, because you can flash a custom ROM and obtain the unlock code.

Oh so smart!

Spend some time trying to understand what's shown in the photo.

I can walk you through it, if need be.

Take a good look at your Kindle. You have it right there in front of you.

Try to run

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme

and show us what you see.

Both the recovery and the boot image are "fake-signed" and will boot

just fine on a locked bootloader. BUT, Magisk doesn't know this and

when it repacks your boot image for system-less operation, it ends up

breaking the signature, that's why your Kindle gets stuck booting.
