LTE working

Hi,

i just installed this rom on my Thor LTE Unlocked BL with TWRP and (nearly) everything is fine:
LTE works (dialog with SIM-Pin takes about 2 minutes to pop up after boot, but that is ok).

just two things:

- registering with google account is not possible due to broken hosts-file. I commented the line with "127.57.144.26 android.clients.google.com" and everything works fine with google.

- Rotation is upside down. Apps, that rotate to landscape (plex, for example) rotate so that the camera is at the bottom side, not on the upper side. So sound is reversed, and speaker are looking down instead of up.

btw - this rom installs fine, not complaining about failed symlinks like the "HDX_Nexus_ROM_Thor-v4.0.3-B02.zip" does ...

good job!

ps: i was a bit irritated regarding the missing root app, but then i read your post#1

Thanks for letting me know, is it possible for to you try SMS and a phone call?
@sn123py - For your apps that rotate upside down try locking the orientation the correct way up first then start your app and let me know if that works.

send SMS: working
receive SMS: working
outgoing call: not working (call ended immediate)
incoming call: not working (get a ring-tone on the other side, but HDX keeps quit).
btw - i never got phone calls working on my hdx.

fixed tablet in landscape (with camera on the top side), started plex and rotation was ok.

Not sure if calling can work or not on HDX hardware. Just thought I'd give it a try
SMS working is good.

Thanks for the ROM it works perfect on thor I installed it in the 1 slot an every things working WiFi and Bluetooth, sound,location is all good you are the man ggow

 

[kudoz83]

Well, Apollo LTE works great, in both TWRP and SafeStrap (LTE works in ANY slot btw)...

Takes about a minute to initialize the baseband and get signal, fyi.

Only sad report is that calls don't work yeah, disconnection time the moment a number is dialed.

Another champion effort @ggow

Thanks

Do calls work on stock, has anyone ever had calling working at all?
I am wondering whether it's a limitation of the device?

nope. I tried just after rooting my kindle a year ago with a third party calling app. Same effect as in your current rom.

 

[cjdfyd2]

Thankyou your effort and i was install cm rom but i can't install stoc rom Install only another rom anyone who why is that result?

 

[aleteman]

I have twrp installed but the bootloader is locked
Should it work nevertheless, because my tablet stops at the kindle fire logo?

From the OP... yes you need to unlock your bootloader.

Introduction

- This ROM is for all variants of the 3rd generation Kindle HDX tablets.
- This is primarily for users of Safestrap 4.0.1, however
- This will also work on devices with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.

 

[aleteman]

Well i wasn't 100% sure even if the phrasing is pretty clear
Guess it's time to unlock it
And thanks for your work

No worries, I have changed the phrasing in the OP to make it clearer
Enjoy the ROM.

Just speculating here but it may be highly probable that the RIL libs do not support voice calling. I haven't got time at the moment to investigate. So I think for now at least this one will stay parked.

Hi,

i just installed this rom on my Thor LTE Unlocked BL with TWRP and (nearly) everything is fine:
LTE works (dialog with SIM-Pin takes about 2 minutes to pop up after boot, but that is ok).

Update after two days with this Rom:

I had some strange messages that the sim-card was removed and reinserted and the dialog asked me to reboot the tablet to activate the changes (?!). I simply tapped the back-button several times (there were about 10 dialog-boxes stacked) and everything is still working including LTE.

just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for that, if it happens again could you get me a log and I'll look into it.
