Thank you for getting back to me with the update. I suppose the device is dated now - but it still is a decent thing and in respect of environment it makes sense to try keep using...so thank you again for providing the ROMS you have.

The situation therefore, is simply to accept the camera not working with Lineage OS, or if camera needed (it is really in my case), then to go back to earlier ROMS (cyanogen) or perhaps use your crDroid or any others - valuing your opinion, what would you recommend ?

All the best

Thanks for all the work you're doing on this ROM. I think it's awesome.

I just installed the most recent ROM and found that it's giving me a screen glitch and sometimes shuts down. I went back to the previous version and it's working fine. I just wanted to report the issue and see if anyone has experienced the same thing. Hopefully, the problem can be found for the next update. I am looking forward to it!!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ABC Warrrior:
I also believe Lineage 15.1 /OREO should come to fruition. One way or another should be available through any means, including payment. This ROM the OS of which is nearly identical to STOCK NOUGAT

It's ''no frills'' simplistic interface allows it to be incredibly smooth. It also seemed-to-be faster than other ROMS I tested including Resurrection Remix, AICP, & the latest cDroid. Practically void of UI

customization's however likely integral to denoted lack of sluggishness. I would like to congratulate all those involved for such a GRAND cumulative effort & it has not gone unnoticed. HDMI/Camera

not working is a real problem and demands further investigation. I understand the "Camera not working" is an issue with many ROMS not just this one however since they both were purported to work

on Cyanogenmod v12 many awaited the frontier of the resolution. I know about coding and for one to continue to create such masterpieces of coding without being able to solve the issue for two years

must be frustrating even to the developers. Feel free to PM me to help resolve this issue via testing if you no longer have this device. I tip my hat to you and my drink salut to the future of the developers

and possibly the possibility to Lineage 15.1 OREO in the future. BTW If anyone has a fix for the camera on this model it would be great if you could include specific details of how the issue was resolved.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trosanelli:
I decided to completely wipe the data on the kindle and install from scratch. The glitchiness seems to be gone.

I can't wait for the oreo version.

Regarding OREO, do you think Go Edition makes more sense for Jem?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
Possible. Given the Kindles' relatively underpowered specs and their age, Go seems pretty viable. I wouldn't bet on any Oreo builds in the near future though, mainly because of the age again.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ABC Warrrior:
Camera

Just so people are aware, the latest update so kindly posted by one of the developers did not fix the camera. To be clear if you have a Kindle HD 8.9 and want this ROM

a forewarning the camera app, of which I've tried several alternatives besides stock does not and will not work. It's not just the device I tested this ROM on, it's all of the

devices, the issue has to do with the ROM. If you want a Custom ROM that has a camera that works try Cyanogenmod 12, but remember you will be downgrading down

to Marshmallow. Anyone have any input as to why the Camera is not functional since this ROMS release. One would think what one had to do to SOLVE THIS ISSUE will

be getting the code from a ROM where the camera was functional. I guess I will have to solve this issue myself. This ROM has been releases two years, no Camera. Ty...
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
CM12 is Lollipop, but I get what you're saying. I've been frustrated by this too, and (shameless self plug) I did some homebrew builds of CM13 about a year and a half ago that have a semi working camera (except the stock camera app in the ROMs doesn't work).

Basically, I pinpointed the broken camera issue to be a side effect of a kernel upgrade to 3.0.101+, which seems to have broken it. This has been the case ever since those builds were first released, and neither source code nor solutions are being posted on Github or here (respectively). I appreciate the builds, but the device repos need updating - I think failing to sync the changes could technically be construed as a violation of Android's license terms.

Second note - after a while, the developer hardcoded the camera disabiling because he couldn't get it to work with the 101+ kernel, so that makes it harder.

Hi.. please help an old man out ;O)

I read thru all 5 years of post on this thread... https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175

and there must have been a dozen different takes on how do every step. Then read about lineageOS and searched here for that and found this thread and it is exactly what I want.

I have a Kindle fire HD8.9 version 2 model 3HT7G released I think 2012. It has version 8.5.1 of the fire os. I think that is all you need about the device.

I have the adb drivers loaded successfully

adb devices returns I guess is the device id number and the adb getvar command returns the JEM

I believe I have rooted it successful... I get the # prompt with the adb su command

I have

twrp3-recovery.img

lineage-14.1-20180319-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip

and open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20180327.zip

So... now the next steps are where I get totally mixed up. I am not a total NOOB I programmed IBM mainframe computers for 20 years, but this world of flashing and android is not very easy to grasp. LOL

Would one of you wizards walk me through the process in detail? and try not to assume I know all the lingo. Like flash xxx.

where exactly to I put these files.. please give the complete path to the directory.... do I need to unzip them?

Thank you in advance and if there is any other information you need from me please ask.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
I doubt there is room to install open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock. Nano should fit.

I normally use a gapps-config file, or pico.

Thanks ipdev... a quick look at the links you provided seem to be very useful.... I have a full day tomorrow... so I will study this later this week and will post any questions I many have.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rgalka:
OK ipdev or anyone else.. I got thru your first example with no issues but now after line 80 sh-3.2# ### Advanced - ADB Sideload

it failed and the reboot is now stuck on the Fire boot screen [ white kindle, orange fire ] and will not respond to anything. Cannot power down, adb fastboot commands just say waiting for device.

How to I recover from this?

**** update... I can get it to shut down if I hold the power button... I don't get the normal shutdown option dialog... it just goes dark. Clicking the power will again get stuck on the Fire boot logo.???????

It also tries to boot when I plug in the usb cable. same.. stuck on kingle fire logo.

*** update 2.. ok so now that I can shut it down I tried some fastboot commands with the usb unplugged and they work. I did have a backup of the system files before I started anything and tried to fastboot boot the 3 images and got the OK and finished messages. But when I did the fastboot reboot it booted just to the kindle fire logo and went no further.

So I still need some handholding to get back on track. thanks

That's ok right? I don't have to move them to the kindle do I?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:

No.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
Looks like it should at that step. Reboot back into recovery and do the wipe steps.

Wipe - Select all. Reboot recovery. Wipe - Factory Rest. - Reboot recovery.

Then you should be set and able to flash the rom and gapps.

Sorry.. here's another one.. ;O) now when I connect to my pc with usb cable I don't get the kindle listed as a storage device. I get an alert saying select to choose what happens with this device, but it disappears quickly. also when connecting I get a dialog on the kindle asking if I want to allow usb debugging... I have tried answering it OK, and Cancel but still I do not see the kindle as a storage device on my pc.

I imagine this is an easy thing to fix.. and I will be searching the forum to see if there is an answer for me.. ;O)

NEVERMIND... I found it ;O)

Just one other comment to make that almost stumped me.. in the step when instructed to start twrp and select sideload.... then swipe... I sat there for awhile waiting for something to happen... eventually realized that it was waiting for me to execute the adb sideload command from the pc.. DUH.. ;O)

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rgalka:
Hi.. ;O) so yesterday my kindle fire 8.9 that I have had LineageOS running fine for the last 8 months decided it didn't wat to boot. When I start it up it goes to the Kindle Fire [orange] and the kindle fire [blue] logo, and just stays there forever. 8 months is long enough for me to forget most of what I did to get it running... but I do have some notes that sort of make sense. The first thing I tried was the fastboot getvar product command.. plugged in the kindle and it just says waiting for device.. I tried different usb cables, and yes I did have the kindle powered down before connecting to the computer. A simple fastboot device returns nothing.

Can some one please recommend some steps to try getting it back? I have nothing on it that I mind losing if it comes to wiping it and starting over, but I don't know how to get past this blue fire logo.

thanks... bob
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] v0id7:
1. Power OFF

2. With volume-UP pressed, power on. Release vol-UP when blue logo appears. The Kindle will boot in recovery mode.

3. Navigate to and initiate Factory Reset. Navigation depends on the recovery software/version used. For Team Win it is under "Wipe" menu item.

4. Reboot.

5 Reconfigure.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
none of the above, unfortunately, will work on the 8.9" because the process of porting Chromium OS over would be absolutely abysmal from start to finish. even if such a thing were done, the devices would barely run the software (if they even boot...) because the roughly 1GB of RAM would not be nearly enough to do anything feasible. not to mention, the hardware is 8 years old at this point, so porting even newer Linux kernels over would be almost not worth it. sorry to crush your dreams.

I want to connect my Kindle Fire to a MIDI usb keyboard. However, when I plug the usb cable, the device does not appear to recognize the device (at least that's my assumption based on dmesg logs). Could the kernel be missing the necessary USB drivers?

@transi1 - FWIW, I did try connecting it using this OTG cable without success. Do you still think I'd have better luck with the adapter?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] natthu:
OTG adapter did not work either. At this point, I'm pretty sure we need to recompile the kernel following these instructions.

I'd be interested to tinker with this if there was an existing repo for the kernel with any specific patches for this device, and would appreciate if someone could point me to it. Thanks!

I am grateful for the great effort they put into creating the different versions.

The double boot loader is too much trouble to fix if "we" mess it up.

Back in the day, I would be called a "script kiddie". I follow instructions, but do NOT know Linux OR how to write / debug software .

I like my HD 8.9 WORKING.

The only thing I know that SHOULD work, you won't want.

I have a STOCK ROM that is already rooted. I never installed it.

I found CR DROID android 7.1.2 and rolled with it for years. The only reason I am "back" is cr-droid started popping a box asking me to choose a launcher.

For over a year I selected correctly. Then I hit the wrong choice. So I popped in to see what was best for this tablet now. Cr-droid still looks good to me.

Thanks for this. it's great to see there's still life in the old beast.

It's not the fastest experience, but we're talking about 3+-year-old hardware here. I turned the animation scale right down in dev options and it's reasonably responsive. So far it seems a lot more stable than the old abandoned CM11 rom I was using.

One note for users: after unlocking developer options they come up with the toggle already on, but they actually aren't enabled. I was scratching my head as to why I didn't have root until I flipped the main dev options toggle off and back on again, at which point I could enable root and USB debugging.

I tried it before with CM12 nighties - converting one or both of those partitions to f2fs caused the OS to either 1) think it had corrupted data and insist on a factory reset, or 2) bootloop. I'm not sure if this issue is still present in CM13 - maybe commits have been added to correct it.
