With the update for gmail that came out within the past week it just started working for me. I didn't even need to clear dalvik I think.

I tried again and upped the number of days of mail to sync and was able to get a crash. Log cat seems to indicate it's trying to do something with contacts that is failing and causing the force close. So yeah it's not working for me either.

Are your plans to make a version for HDX 8.9 Apollo?
I really hopes so and SafeStrap is now in beta-:).

it's basically running into some sort of a hack Amazon did to intercept the Contacts call to its own Contacts rather than the Google one, much like the one Amazon did the market calls.

I can describe the high concept, but I don't know how to work around it yet as I'm not that much of an Android programmer/hacker (yet).

Hi !

I do not have access to my stock backup right now but would need a directory listing of some stock rom data folder :

/data/app
/data/app-lib
/data/data

Thanks in advance if someone is able to give me the list of files in those folders (need to be from a STOCK rom). This will be usefull to finish the new version of the rom :)

Many thanks, downloaded.

I still want to improve a few things, and since time is missing me i will probably take my time for the new version. But it will be up for the week end for sure. Just be aware that with the "DownloadManager" fix, all seems to work properly now ! (play store, gmail, chrome, etc..)

Edit: in the meantime you can try my HDXPosed mod to have a taste of it as it will allow gmail, chrome and other downloads to work.

Can anybody explain why I can't go into settings/notifications without it crashing?

I've reflashed multiple times and several 'settings' menus don't work.

Here's the (good) news :

  • fixed launcher orientation silliness (thanks to CelticWebSolutions !)
  • added chrome and gmail app
  • added aosp settings compiled from sources (com.android.thorsettings)
  • fixed almost all settings when using aosp settings (still problems with SeekBar's like volume and brightness)
  • added aosp keyboard compiled from sources with landscape width fix (removed stock swype)
  • changed bootanimation to aosp one

Arg, very bad news for me. I tried to flash the rom on the stock partition like i already did a lot of time, but this time it did hang on the system partition formating. Now the device is stuck on the "kindle fire" screen :/

Edit: i was still in the 30 days so i submitted a return and did buy a new one right away. Should be there for the weed end :)

    Else I did start to work on the new update. I think all is OK except I still use the old kernel and since the GPU driver has changed in the kernel there is no rendering.
    I think we could just flash the updated kernel to my modded (updated) ROM but I'm very anxious to do so.

    Maybe if there is someone with a non updated spare device we could test together ? (Worst cases is device updated and non rootable or bricked).

    My other side project for the HDXs is getting the device into a usasble fastboot state without having a usable OS. To me this is absolutely critical for future development. Its just too risky atm to randomly test flash kernels, etc.
