well done
Thanks man, ROM working as expected, new widget picker is great! If you can make system administrators working, that would be great! Anyway, take your time and have some beers on me (or whatever you drinking these days). Donated.

I'll take a look at the system administrators settings and let you know what I find.
Great works!!
This ROM is ready for daily use to me.
There still a little problem: Google Maps display wrong.
Is any possable that port ROM from
[ROM] aosp-4.2.2-thor-0 (Kindle fire hdx 7")?
Is there a way to install this rom with out a backup? When I try to install it from Fresh I can't get passed the language screen. So I do as that link says in the op and install the rom and then back up but I have many problems that I think would be alleviated with a fresh start.
Also, how did u change the width of the stock keyboard. I ask BC I'd like to change the width of the swift key keyboard. Thanks!

You need to use a backup of your stock /data partition and for the moment definitely have to install following the instructions hightlighted on post #1, if you have problems with Safestrap follow the link shown on the 4th bullet point in post #1.
If you still have problems I will try to help.
For the keyboard I am working with 4.2.2 JDQ39 of the aosp source code. I modified the source code and rebuilt the keyboard app.

Thanks for your swift reply. I'll try a backup of a stock Rom with no applications or anything installed on it and see if that works.
I had a look at the system administrators settings, it seems the reason it's failing is there are function(s) that are called in the aosp settings app that are not available in amazon's runtime. This is very difficult to work around not having the source code for amazon's libraries.
In parallel to Apollo Gapps I have been working on building a completely AOSP ROM from source which should fix these issues. Will keep everyone posted when things start to progress a bit more.

Well, I rather have a clean AOSP ROM on my kindle too, and I can live pretty well with Apollo Gaps 1.2 for now, so thank you again for everything you did so far. Will wait patiently for any further development here...
I know on the G2 (Snapdragon 800 just like this) they have kernel dev's and ROM dev's that grab drivers and libraries from the Nexus 5 and have them working perfectly well on the G2. Perhaps the same can be done here since the chipset is the same one as well?
I believe @Cpasjuste used the Nexus 5 as his base for the aosp-4.2.2-thor-0 ROM, but ran into issues with video and audio playback. His thor-1 ROM I believe fixed these issues, but caused many other issues making it unusable. That's when he switched attention to his Thor Gapps ROM. I preferred the AOSP ROM, but without video/audio, it made my HDX a pointless device. Hopefully you will have more luck.

• Everyone, for your support10Quick update on the AOSP ROM I'm building from source...
Good news, the build of 4.2.2 is now booting successfully. I have managed to create a separate gapps package.
Although building from source has cleaned up a lot of the issues from the Apollo Gapps 1.2. There are now numerous fixes required to make it stable enough for release so will keep you posted.6
It will be a completely free of any amazon customisations (ie Pure AOSP 4.2.2 like Nexus devices).
It was only today that the ROM has booted up successfully but, since my last post, I've got WIFI and sound working. Got a lot of testing to do now.
Full details will be available upon release.6Full AOSP 4.2.2
Have been working away quietly in the background on a full aosp build from source. Have made loads of progress since last update.
I now have the device going through full bootup, with full GPU acceleration enabled. Bluetooth is working, but WIFI is not... Need to also debug audio too.
This is based on the 14.3.1.0 stock kernel. I looked at the changes between this kernel and the 14.3.2.4 release and there were no significant improvements made between them. The only significant update was the GPU driver had some extra code added which is the cause of the blank screen when trying to run apollo gapps 1.2 with amazon's latest update.5Update
I am working on Apollo Gapps 1.3. It will be based on 14.3.2.4.
I should be able to get it released sometime in the coming week.
The only new feature in the ROM will be an aosp swype keyboard.
After the release of the ROM I will make a flashable .zip file for the swype keyboard. Users of Apollo Gapps 1.2 can use this to obtain the swype feature without having to upgrade the entire system.
This flashable zip should also work with Thor Gapps ROM too.
@Cpasjuste - If it's ok with you I can send you a copy of the swype update to test when it's ready?
