1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{(-2)^3 \times (-2)^4}{(-2)^2 \times (-2)^5} + \frac{(-1)^0 \times (-1)^3}{(-1)^4 \times (-1)^x} \cdot \frac{(-1)^3 \cdot (-2) \cdot (-2)^2 + (-1)^9}{(-1)^{14} - 1 \cdot (-1)^3} \div \frac{(-1)^{14} \cdot (-1)^1}{1 \div (-1)^{10} \cdot (-1)^1}.$
2. **Use exponent rules:**
- $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$
- $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$
- $a^0 = 1$
- $(-1)^n = -1$ if $n$ is odd, $1$ if $n$ is even
3. **Simplify numerator and denominator of first fraction:**
$$(-2)^3 \times (-2)^4 = (-2)^{3+4} = (-2)^7$$
$$(-2)^2 \times (-2)^5 = (-2)^{2+5} = (-2)^7$$
4. **Simplify first fraction:**
$$\frac{(-2)^7}{(-2)^7} = (-2)^{7-7} = (-2)^0 = 1$$
5. **Simplify second fraction numerator:**
$$(-1)^0 \times (-1)^3 = 1 \times (-1)^3 = (-1)^3 = -1$$
6. **Simplify second fraction denominator:**
$$(-1)^4 \times (-1)^x = (-1)^{4+x} = 1 \times (-1)^x = (-1)^x$$
7. **Second fraction becomes:**
$$\frac{-1}{(-1)^x} = -1 \times (-1)^{-x} = -(-1)^x$$
8. **Simplify inside the big numerator of the complex fraction:**
$$(-1)^3 \cdot (-2) \cdot (-2)^2 = (-1)^3 \cdot (-2)^{1+2} = (-1)^3 \cdot (-2)^3 = (-1)^3 \cdot (-8) = -1 \times -8 = 8$$
9. **Add $(-1)^9$ to above:**
$$8 + (-1)^9 = 8 + (-1) = 7$$
10. **Simplify denominator of complex fraction:**
$$(-1)^{14} - 1 \cdot (-1)^3 = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2$$
11. **Complex fraction becomes:**
$$\frac{7}{2}$$
12. **Simplify division by fraction:**
$$\div \frac{(-1)^{14} \cdot (-1)^1}{1 \div (-1)^{10} \cdot (-1)^1} = \times \frac{1 \div (-1)^{10} \cdot (-1)^1}{(-1)^{14} \cdot (-1)^1}$$
13. **Simplify powers:**
$$(-1)^{14} = 1, \quad (-1)^{10} = 1$$
14. **Simplify numerator of division:**
$$1 \div 1 \times (-1)^1 = 1 \times (-1) = -1$$
15. **Simplify denominator of division:**
$$1 \times (-1)^1 = -1$$
16. **Division fraction becomes:**
$$\frac{-1}{-1} = 1$$
17. **Multiply all parts:**
$$1 + (-(-1)^x) \times \frac{7}{2} \times 1 = 1 - (-1)^x \times \frac{7}{2}$$
18. **Final simplified expression:**
$$1 - \frac{7}{2} (-1)^x$$
**Answer:** $$\boxed{1 - \frac{7}{2} (-1)^x}$$
