Kindle Fire HD 8.9 5.1 ROMs - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone planning to make a 5.1 ROM for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9? Or at least update the only 5.0 ROM that we do have? Haven't seen an update in months.

I am hoping for the same thing. Seems like the nightlies are pretty stable for the CM 11 ROMS and major thanks for all the work on those. I'd love to see a Lollipop ROM for our Fire HDs.

They have 1 but it hadn't been updated in months. It's still in Alpha state. It's pretty good but need an update.

If anyone is interested I have built Candy5 5.1.1 for the 8.9, I just need testing as I don't own jem, that's the reason why I only build for tate , but if you guys are willing to test the builds I can release them and possibly build beanstalk for you guys also?

Brilliant job, man!! The ROM seems stable enough for a daily driver, even from a dirty flash from Hashcode's CM12 port. Just a few bugs:
1) When choosing to show the seconds for the time, the seconds show up after the PM/AM text. The attached screenshot demonstrates this (I used the CandyROM sweeteners for the Adventure Time themed navbar).
2) When I paired my Bluetooth keyboard, I was able to type the pairing code as prompted, but even though Android recognizes it as an input device, I'm not able to type with the keyboard. This issue didn't occur in CM11, but it was prominent in Hash's CM12 ports. Maybe it's a lollipop issue in general?
3) the navigation ring targets look awfully large (also shown in the screenshot). This issue appeared before (and after, as well) I customised the navigation ring targets, and it did not do this in Hashcode's port.
Otherwise, this ROM is excellent for a first port!

I crossposted this from the Q&A for the ROM thread because I have under 10 posts and the forum won't let me post directly into the development thread.

Xrayk here to test. Thank you.

Quick follow-up. Looking very solid for the moment. Definitely a daily driver. Thank you.

Bluetooth isn't working on my KFHD8.9 LTE variant on CM12.1 and I can't post on the forums cuz of the dumb rules that I need more then 10 posts.

CM Version Updates

Hello everyone I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.I would like to know who handles the updates for the CM version of the phone. Is it Oppo or the CM team? Will there be OTA updates or do we have to manually download and install?
Thanks in advance.

CM will handle the CM version. Oppo will supply updates to their software, but CM will handle the actual ROM itself.
Right now there's only one build released. I have a new build that I'm checking out now, but it's still on 10.2. We should see CM11 very soon, and I predict that it will come with the official Google software built in, so there won't be a need to flash gapps. I might be wrong about that, but I think that's how it will work.
I'll post the link for the update very soon in the correct section.

Software should be coming out tomorrow, can't wait.
Cyanogenmod does have their new CM Installer software for Windows and Android. If you're not familiar with fastboot, installing recoveries, and all that....it may be the easier way to go....in fact, I'm curious to try it myself.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/oppo-n1-cyanogenmod,25495.html
I am more interested to see how this will work not only for the N1 but for future CM phones.
Imo if they want to go official they should provide the stable versions OTA to begin with.

I'm fairly certain that CM11 won't have included gapps until an official "stable" release occurs.
Only the released version of 10.2 has been approved by Google.

I'm talking about the official build of CM11. Steve Kondik has informed me that the build is almost ready to roll. They're just waiting on a few last details... Which I assume is the inclusion of gapps.

All People Update CM. there is the cm-11-20140724-NIGHTLY
First update to the latest nightly in CM page, after that you can update via OTA in your phone, there is Daily updates!!
O-Click, Works, meaby a second lag (while focusing?)
O-Touch Works, not as the touchpad of your lap but works, And for some reason changing the VM to ART works better for me.
3G works
Battery last very good, and its suposed to las more in stand-by if you use ART instead of Dalvik
ART works well by the way.

right now im on cloudyg3 rom so i cant attach any screenshots from my phone
and about bugs when i was using the roms it was ok with my except the screen rotation it sometimes stuck
at the end its my first thread here so im a beginner
i think this isn't right place to put in development section maybe in general section. this isn't ur work just kinda like repost from G2 recruitment color os
I was thinking the same thing that's why i asked the difference. I don't have the ability to compare the 2 until tomorrow. Maybe one of the mods can look into this and decide whether or not to close the thread.

The one based on cm 10.1 is an unofficial port.. This is an official coloros coming directly from oppo
Then why can't i find it on the color os official website or find the g2 on the device list?

My apologies to android_for_all if me asking about the two roms made them upset or mad. I will admit that me jumping to conclusion was very wrong on my part. As i said in the other thread I've been a very long time member and seen us lose great people for things that i was asking about. Please accept my apology and continue the great work. Please get it working for us d801 users so we can give it a try.

there's no way he would providing rom sources and OP doesn't know what Beta Tester mean, just hoping oppo dont get mad because of this
Installed D802 on my D803 and tried every JB kernel for the G2 I could find and still does not work, looks like for any other model than a few that are listed in the install along with D802 will have to wait for another release and hope that release will work with your model.
It will install but I could not find a compatible kernel to make boot up with my D803.

Official Build for CM13

How many of us are interested in having an official build of CM13 in our equipment?

1st I'd post this in Q&A and not development.
2nd as long as we have somebody "maintaining" the unofficial builds (poisonNinja) I'm happy with unofficial. Especially since there were bugs even in snapshot builds of cm12.1 like low in call volume and broken audio during 3d applications which were never fixed (as of 17/12/15. This was the last build I tried). It would be good if we get automated builds but I wouldn't sacrifice stability and functionality for this (i.e. necessary cherry picks and fixes).
It more easy if the developers have a official build

Brissen and I have been working slowly on getting the device finished up, it's actually really close to getting nightlies, only have one thing to fix I think for enforcing boot and then official builds will start after

i do lol, currently using asop 6.0 rom, constantly reboot for some reason
It would be nice, N7105 stills does everything I need, there is not much reason to update to something newer.

N7100 still got CM11. Is the only version of Note 2 with CM11.
Even S2 got official CM13 now... (I don't want to live on this planet anymore)

Official Lineage Os Builds start flowing.

The Robin is the second device with Official Lineageos Builds available.
Go to Lineageos.org
Downloading now
Installing
https://download.lineageos.org/ether
To save some trouble, here's a link to the Nextbit Robin builds.
How's it running for ya?
Literally right after i flash back stock for the nougat beta.... XD
First impressions? Like Gps and fingerprint (no detection when unlocked?) are working correctly?
So... which version should we download? Experimental or Nightly?
Edit: Ok, Experimental builds are made for upgrading from a CM 13/14.1 build to Lineage. You can try it, but there's no guarantee that it will work. So the correct answer to my question is... Install Nightly. (And i will in a few minutes )
Btw, i was surprised our beloved Robin was one of the few first to have support from LineageOS. Thanks LineageOS people! :good::highfive:

Nice video! Definitely cool to see how the ROM runs in realtime. To me, it seems a little rough around the edges compared to stock, so I'll wait for a milestone build or something. Videos like this are super helpful, though, so thank you!
I most say Its not perfect, and it is technically not a first release, however this is definitely a BIG step on the right direction :good:

Crackling - Wileyfox Swift

Hi, I'm not asking for an ETA but I was told that Cracking would get official Lineage OS and have been waiting for it for ages, somebody told me the build failed in Jenkins or something and I wouldn't be getting it. Basically I just want to know if I'll be getting the official build at all. It is listed as getting Lineage,. Should I continue to wait excited or give up hope haha? Any help is appreciated thanks guys.

They are still rolling out the initial builds. If your device is on the list, you should not be concerned, just patient.
It was one of the first build and the build is broken:
https://jenkins.lineageos.org/job/android/21/
https://jenkins.lineageos.org/job/android/22/
Nobody correct this for now
The last three cm13 "weeklys" also broken, and nobody fix it

Some phones don't have experimental because have changes that it's mandatory wipe data but seems that this week none of the phone builds have an experimental....
