Yep - welcome to the HDX BTpairing dance. My preferred technique is to pair a code free input device first (usually a mouse) which can then be used to 'enhance' the pairing success rate of other devices. Disabling WiFi during the pairing courtship also helps.

[MENTION=1160674]davy1[/MENTION]26 When I try to TWRP restore all goes well until this after Restoring Data "extractTarFork( ) process ended with error: 255". Tried with full wipe first.

Any fix suggestions? Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Try restoring partitions individually.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobcat131:
Ok restored system and all good, restored boot and all good, restored data (excl. storage) and no good. Got extract TarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255

Now what do I do to get this baby up and running?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Since boot and system restored w/o error the device should boot. You can then add apps of your choosing from the Play Store assuming you did/will flash a suitable GAaps package. Out of curiosity what are you attempting to restore (ie: where was the backup taken) and why?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobcat131:
It should boot but it doesn't. I was trying to restore a TWRP backup that I made a while back because I was having problems with the latest security update. I do have TWRP with adb and fastboot working.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Wipe everything, including internal storage, reboot back to twrp recovery and perform a clean install. You need to transfer a fresh ROM image, a root solution (Magisk or SuperSU 2.82 SR5) and a suitable Open GAaps package via ADB or simple drag/drop.

As an aside, avoid the use if compression when creating TWRP backups.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobcat131:
No joy yet. Wiped all partitions and tried to push the fresh zip to sdcard and got "write failed: read-only file system".

So tried to sideload it and got "unmount of /system failed; no such volume"

"Installation complete! script succeeded: result was [1.000000]"

What is wrong?

Could have a hardware or (less likely) permissions issue. Beyond the scope of immediate/recallable exposures. Might need to invest in a new device; relatively inexpensive on auction sites.

I got this installed on my hdx thor with magisk 16, open gapps, and I'm getting random reboots. Thought it was magisk so I unrooted and uninstalled magisk and the app. Still getting reboots. I know it's not hardware because I've never had a reboot on fireos and battery lasts 2-3 days. Any way I can generate a debug log before reboot?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
I have run this ROM (latest build) w/SuperSU 2.82 SR5 and GAaps nano for the better part of a year with only a handful of spontaneous reboots...most of which were of my own doing. After verifying tethered communication in TWRP suggest a full wipe (including data and internal storage) and rebuild.

Spontaneous reboots are a classic symptom of pending eMMC failure on this device and can begin w/o warning. Obviously try the above and/or a different ROM before tossing in the towel.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
I agree with you it's surely a nice ROM, but unfortunately there haven't been any updates to the nougat branch so probably not. But still no harm in sticking with this one for now.

Hi, thank you very much. Your method save my day
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] SierraG:
I think it might be related to how airplane mode is implimented in the build. I think the same bug may be impacting both wifi and bluetooth.

I was having problems with wifi getting unstable and dropping connections after uptime exceeded 24 hours. It was suggested i try going into and back out of airplane mode to reset wifi. This worked, but not reliably. Some testing showed entering airplane mode shut down bluetooth and wifi and disabling airplane mode brought them back up. Further testing showed that when airplane mode was enabled it was still possible to toggle wifi and bluetooth on and off without leaving airplane mode. The demonstrated bug in airplane mode makes me think it's causing the problem, although it's possible there are two independent bugs. It could even not be in the rom, I'm just making an observation and hoping it's helpful.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Toggling radios independent of airplane/flight mode setting is NOT a bug. All my devices permit this option. I will often engage airplane mode first to quiet all radios then toggle on the one I want. I do agree this can mess up behavior when exiting airplane mode; usually have to verify all radios have returned to their previous state. Depends on device/rom.

Unstable WiFi connections (spontaneous uncommanded disconnects) most frequently occur in mixed signal environments, especially when 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals emanate from the same AP. Renaming SSIDs has no effect. In that scenario I usually find 2.4GHz connections are more durable. YMMV.

Battery life?

I installed the 2018-06-10 update last night and the battery went from 100% to 12% overnight.

As far as I could tell, the screen was off and no apps were running. I only wiped cache and

Dalvik when flashing from the new TWRP (which seemed to have issues with the clock, BTW),

in case that makes a difference.

Is this a known issue? Any hints towards a [hopefully easy] fix?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] freshmike:
Have the same version on Thor, did not experience your issue. Did you upgrade to latest gapps?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Not a known issue as I run the same combo on multiple devices w/o issue. You will need to identify the bad actor(s) which isn't tremendously difficult with native tools or one of the well regarded power monitoring apps such as BBS or GSAM. Best practice includes the latest Open Gapps build (recommend nano), refresh of your preferred root solution (I use SuperSU 2.82 SR5), Xposed framework (if applicable) and a wipe of the system partition. No need to go after dalvik or cache; Android 7+ handles these nicely during initial boot. However, being old school with plenty of silver I usually wipe caches on the way out of TWRP as a comforting placebo (a.k.a. adult pacifier).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] draxie:
No, I haven't, but now both you and [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] mention it, I certainly will. ;^)

Right... Here's the list of top juice-suckers from the Battery settings thingy:

-- -- --

Android System 21%

Google Play services 7%

Tablet idle 3%

Android OS 2%

-- -- --

Based on the above, flashing a new OpenGapps (I use pico) might just do the trick.

I had updated Magisk as a matter of course and don't have Xposed.

UPDATE: that was it! Now, the battery is still over 80% after a full day

and estimated to last another 3 days...

change the prop for your device to something else using the props module
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
lol - inexperience shines bright. Passing safetynet is the holly grail for many devices. Twiddling build.prop values is not the answer. Best source for current info is the Magisk threads. Google provides a mechanism for self-certifying custom roms but I doubt that is the issue here unless poster can't access the Play Store.

Does anybody have issues with chromecast? The icon doesn't show up in Netflix and YouTube. I already googled my ass of. Updating play services won't suffice, unless I got the wrong version and installed it.

I had to reflash the rom and December gapps nano to get rid of an annoying update error for play services in the tray.

I wonder what is going on here
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Works fine w/Lineage. While I enjoyed this ROM for nearly a year (as evidenced by my prior enthusiastic posts) I eventually moved to Lineage 14.1 due lack of updates in the AEX base and an increasing number of minor issues that flawed the overall experience. That said, I don't recall this particular issue w/AEX but I do not cast often from this device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bunnahabhain:
Okay, thanks for the heads up. I'll consider having a lock and lineage. The devs seem to continue development and focus on stability. This is the device of my brother though, I'll have to ask. Thanks again!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DragonFire1024:
I have an 8.9... Jem. What is different from the Jem to these 8.9s? And how different is the hardware? There are no more good working ROMs left for the Jem so before I kill myself building one, I am hoping to find one to port. (I had all the working ones I could find, but the only decent ones now are a CM 13 and CM 12 which I have, but I am really tired of CM and it only lasts for so long before the roms start to lag.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Apollo and Jem have little common ground. SOCs are completely different. Apollo uses a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8974; Jem leverage a dual-core TI OMAP4470. Kernels are (obviously) quite different. Panels are have radically different densities (2560 x 1600 vs 1920x1200). GPU, ports, internal partitions ... the list goes on and on. You could have easily discovered much of this information using XDA and other device review/spec sites such as GSMArena (below).

If your Jem is lagging spin up a secondary swap file in the cache partition and roll back swappiness to 25 or lower. Keep an eye on unwanted background tasks; swipe away anything you won't be returning to in the near future. Jems only have ~865MB of user accessible memory; aggressive multi-tasking is not your friend. Keep it simple and your device will reward you with acceptable performance. Android ROMs don't become laggy over time unless something changes; this ain't Windows XP (lol).

I know I could've found those specs. But it wasn't that important. I genuinely didn't know the differences between the devices. I know some manufacturers will change the name of a device but make very little changes, if any to the software and etc so was just wondering. I'll likely never see one of those and I kept seeing 8.9. well if anything, I can at least cherry pick from their ROMs.

Currently deciding between going with AospExtended and LineageOs 14.1. Would you guys say that the WiFi issues are less pronounced on this ROM? I've read the reports in this thread, but I wasn't sure whether these were in comparison to the current LOS release or other (older) ROMs.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]: Given how many people were reporting an improvement I was wondering: Does this ROM include any fixes or changes specific to WiFi?

In any case, thanks again for all your work for this community. I'm still pretty new to the scene, but I keep seeing your name popping up everywhere :).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
I have made no specific changes for better WiFi. I think the magic is in this ROMs codebase. Lineage has been known for choppy WiFi on certain devices and have never been able to find out why.

Definitely worth trying this one out. Not had one dropped connection yet ?

Thanks a lot for posting this ROM. I replaced LineageOS 14.1 with it on my Fire HDX (Thor). It's blazing fast and resolved a strange issue I had with a specific app (reoccurring 'app not responding' message on user input). Only things not working are camera and of course LTE.

I've never flashed Magisk so far. In its description it says it patches the boot image. Have you tested Magisk with this ROM? What to do to be safe? Is it enough to make a backup of boot.img in TWRP?

In case I want to flash SuperSU instead, which zip should I flash?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
I am using this ROM now as my daily driver, with opengapps-stock cut down and flashed using an opengapps-config file and Magisk 14.3 which works absolutely fine.

Just use the latest SuperSU if you want to go that route :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] :
I have successfully flashed Magisk now. Install instructions are straightforward and easy, but I created a full nandroid backup before doing so, just to be safe. I found that Magisk is way better than the SuperSU solution. And the ROM is my daily driver now too. It's much snappier than LineageOS 14.1 and all apps perform much smoother with it. I'm very happy having flashed this. And if LTE might work at some point too, it'd be perfect. But it's already the best ROM I ever installed on my Fire HDX. Thank you so much for your excellent work :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Curious why you find Magisk superior to SuperSU. Not challenging; just asking in the context of a basic root manager. I have used both and favor SuperSU for its simplicity. That said, could very well have a blind spot in my assessment.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Hello Dave, it's fine to ask.

As a basic root manager both are probably equal.

Magisk enables devices to pass the dreaded CTS checks which many banking apps have implemented. I just like that I can have these working. That's probably just scratching the surface as there many other modules for magisk that I have not made use of.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] :
Magisk to me is like an all-in-one solution, more versatile, with modules and with the possibility to hide root from apps and get along with safetynet. For basic root management, if course, SuperSU is sufficient though.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] :
Unfortunately, the issue with that specific app came back. I thought it was fixed, but after testing for two days, the problem still occurs. It seems this is related to Nougat. Now I flashed LineageOS 13.0 and the problem seems to be gone, but I need to observe for a few days. Usually the problem starts to occur when Android Nougat has been in usage for a few hours and said app respectively. This is the app that keeps randomly popping up with "app not responding" on user input:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Although an unlikely solution make sure this app (and any dependencies) are excluded from battery/power optimization which is a bit more aggressive on Android 7.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

Thanks for the responses. I agree the growing library of Magisk modules is appealing, although I have ways of accomplishing many/most tasks via other means. I have yet run into a CTS check that couldn't be circumvented...but this too requires extra knob turning that Magisk (arguably SUHide) deals with in a more elegant manner. I'll probably make a permanent jump in the not too distant future; even those who prefer the trailing edge have to catch up at some point. :)
