    Apollo Gapps Version 1.3

    Hi,

    This is a custom rom for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9” that is very close to being AOSP. All amazon services have been removed.

    Features:

    • All amazon apps removed
    • All amazon background services removed (including OTA update)
    • Google services added (play store, gmail, gallery...)
    • AOSP launcher and apps
    • Rooted

    Bugs/Todo:
    • Rear video camera not working
    • Device administrators force closes upon selection
    • Rendering of google maps


    Installation:
    • Install/update SafeStrap
    Create a rom slot
    • Flash/restore stock rom DATA to rom slot
    • Flash apollo-gapps-rom-v1.2 if you are on 14.3.1.0 or apollo-gapps-rom-v1.3 if you are on 14.3.2.4.
    For working Kindle Reader, install from the link below and set Play Store App to not auto-update it.

    IMPORTANT: Please be aware of the following:
    • I have only tested apollo-gapps-rom-v1.3 on 14.3.2.4.
    • If you are on a version earlier than 14.3.2.4 then apollo-gapps may/may not work.
    • Do NOT update to apollo-gapps-rom-v1.3 if you are on 14.3.1.0

    Quick 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.

    I'm glad to hear that the ROM is still further developed. What would be new features compared to the latestet released version?

    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.

    Full 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.

    Update

    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?
