Everything works all amazon and Google services together and no swaping required. It is a mirarle. A deserved nobel prize.

Wow nice. What are the risk, besides brick, if I flash this on the the stock partition and never switch it out or flash anything to it in the future. Only reason I ask is because I hate how safe strap only allows 4gb partition and having a 32gb version I feel like a lot of it goes to waste?
I would avoid playing with the stock ROM/slot. I did successfully restore a few times on it with no problem but last time I tried to flash my gapps ROM it got bricked. It may due to not having reboot after switching from a ROM slot to stock ROM as I saw some report of flashing error on slots ROM due to this.
Until we got a way to use flashboot I will personaly not try to play again with it

Killed it
This really messed up my kindle and I literally just got it, I'm so pissed.

My back button/home button/search is missing... any way to get it back? if I go into an app and switch back and forth between one option to another it pops up but then disappears soon after... pretty f'n annoying. I'm using the kindle launcher/nova/launcher that came with thor apps and it all has the same results. Thanks!
I noticed something this morning when I was waking up. I had my kindle charging the whole night when I woke up to unplug it, it was stuck in a Bootloop, not sure if it's a bug but I will keep an eye out on this. I rebooted my tab and it was back to normal.

I've had this with other devices, usually to do with the battery being drained whilst on charge.
Yea but my battery was full when I unplugged it.

Simply download it from amazon and change the extension to .zip
Oh, cant post an URL , phhhh
Hi,
yes make a backup of stock rom, backup and then create a new rom-slot.
After that, make a restore of your backup to your rom-slot.
i have flashed multiple roms floating around this site, but this is the only one i cannot get working. Can anyone post a more detailed instructions on how to install this? I managed to flash successfully, but the partition bricks after trying to install xposed.

33BE SURE TO PLAY ON A SAFESTRAP ROM
Here is how to "easily" install Google Apps (gapps) on our HDX devices (tested on 7", should work on 8.9").
This procedure will keep all amazon app services working, thanks to an Xposed module.
Installation
- Root your device
- Install Xposed Framework + my xposed module "HDXPosed"
- Copy thor-gapps-installer-1.zip to sdcard
- Flash thor-gapps-installer-1.zip from safestrap recovery
Informations
- thor-gapps-installer-*.zip is just stock jb gapps with "welcomescreen.apk" removed and stock launcher added if needed
- all work is done in HDXPosed module, more information on the HDXPosed thread

3Installed on Stock Rom Working
For anyone who wants to know. I have a 32GB Kindle HDX 8.9. I rooted my kindle then used KindleFree to install google services. I installed the XPosed mod without safestrap and everything is working without issues. I have not had a single problem with mine. All google apps including google hangouts and google+ work. I have not tried gmail as I prefer the default mail client so I have not installed gmail and I probably wont but everything else is working.
Edit: I forgot to mention that all of the amazon services are working as well. I can download and install apps from both the playstore and the amazon store, watch movies, download books, download and listen to music and download documents. I haven't had any problems with any services for amazon or google not working. The only unknown for me is gmail but like I said earlier I prefer the default mail client so I have not tried gmail.3
*sigh*
When you first install safestrap recovery, and boot into it, it will stay very clearly that you're dealing with STOCK ROM (and recovery robot at the boot menu will be RED, not green). That means you're MUCKING WITH STOCK ROM, not a "copy" of a ROM (i.e. safestrap).
In order NOT to muck with stock ROM (i.e. live your life on the edge), you "backup" the stock ROM, create a ROM slot (probably 1, name it "mod test1 or whatever) restore your backup into it, and activate that so you from now on boot into the COPY of your ROM. Then you can flash, edit, distort, or multilate your ROM... and as long as you can get into safestrap recovery, you can simply reset the ROM slot by loading a backup, and you're back in 5 minutes. And your "stock ROM" (rooted, but unmodified) will stay UNTOUCHED.
Got that?2
