7.1 Works brilliantly, I have one issue which is audio stutter. For example when watching slingtv or playing a game for 10-15 minutes, eventually the sound will start to stutter. Happens in all apps

To fix it you have to stop sound from playing (like switch to home screen, wait 5 seconds, switch back) then afterwards it is fine.

Get a cable and hunt around for a Kindle first aid package that works for you the hardest part for me was getting my windows ten 64 bit to allow the drivers and recognise the device thankfully i had backed up a full copy of everything to my hard drive. You could also just attempt to fastboot the second bootloader and reboot it and hopefully that will be all you need to do. Good luck pal

It work beautiful but Sound stutter after 2min watch youtube pls fix ittttt :crying::crying:

Pretty easy to make one if you've got an old usb cable and a soldering iron. Just open up the micro-usb end and run a wire from pin 1 to pin 4. Close it up with some heatshrink tape, and voila. I did this in about 30 minutes, taking my time to make everything tiny, tidy, and using a heatgun to melt the plastic back together at the tip.

I mean, this guy succeeded, and his soldering sucks, lol.

http://www.droidforums.net/threads/how-why-to-make-your-own-motorola-factory-cable.146492/

But I'm curious ,actually. If the problem is the modification to the second bootloader, then just reflashing the second bootloader *should* fix it, no?

Incidentally, i ran into this problem when I updated magisk on my G3, which requires a special *bump* to pass security check, and just flashing the bump patch fixed it, so that's why I'm thinking reflashing the second bootloader might be the thing. Hopefully it's not a permanent brick.

let us know if you get it back up
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bmckenna:
well, i got the fastboot cable from amazon, was under $10 so no big worry there.

i found a kindle fire first aide kit and attempted to get things moving there. so far, i've managed to get fastboot command responding after installing the android adb driver in device manager to the yellow triangle "tate" device.

not sure how to just flash the second bootloader, i'm attempting to just restore to factory via the first aide kit and see if that works. got the following which makes me think it didn't:

well, this is promising.

with the fastboot cable, after installing the drivers, i was able to flash the boot and recovery:

./fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img

./fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.3.0-recovery.img

and it got me into twrp. that's a start for sure. going to try to reload lineage (sd card was wiped during the kindle fire first aide activities earlier). turns out data and cache partitions were kaput so i used twrp to reformat these and finally now the computer recognizes it as a drive. adb devices was showing the device as offline so i couldn't even transfer the files that way. currently transferring over zip files and going to flash and fingers crossed everything boots up nicely :)

i think had the kindle fire first aide kit not reformatted my data partition, that likely just fastboot flashing the boot.img and recovery.img probably would've been good enough.

also, just realized that i think i wasn't even using lineage :) i had a zip for aicp in my kindle folder as well, honestly can't remember which i was using. oh well, time to give lineage a try lol.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wyrmeth:
Oh fantastic i was meaning to hunt out the files that got me up n running for you. Make sure you backup once you've got your basic lineage installed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bmckenna:
thanks man, appreciate the intention! :)

what's the preferred backup method, since storage on this is so small - twrp backup and just move the image off? kindle fire first aide?

Thanks for the new build, working well here, dirty flashed over 3/25 build!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
just letting you know, not complaining at all...

I installed this on a tate which had a working 5.0.2. rom on it , (Vanir 5.0.2)

full wipe , install this and gapps pico 7.1

I get no sound output from anything. system sounds or apps

okay, I says , maybe I screwed around with this one tablet too much over months

brought it completely back to stock Amazon everything, and verified sound works

I reapplied the stack and boot images, etc, installed this rom and pico gapps again

no sound.

on the first try I tried uninstalling cm sound and audiofx

on both, tried hard resets , reboots , task kills, airplane mode off and on, DND off and on , anything that might be causing it.

I got no sound output. watching video seemed not optimum as well

again, just an FYI, I do appreciate keeping these going
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skalnas:
Guess I spoke too soon, just discovered same problem, no sound at all, reverted to prior build(3/25) via twrp backup.

Sound was also working for me on 3/8 build. Thanks for the continued efforts on this.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Bezier_:
Hi, thanks for your hard work. Does this build fixes the sound stuter that is in 20170325 build in video playback sound after a couple minutes?

Can i flash this new build without reinstalling all apps and data?

Installing over installed build means to install apps and everything from scratch?

Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] transi1:
You can flash over previous version of LOS without lost data and apps, but you need flash gaaps with rom.

I can`t test tate, but jem sound stutter seems fixed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
SO far, so good! A very usable rom, thanks.

Native casting working, sound fixed, video playback seems much better.

have not tested camera, assuming it is still inop, and HDMI output still is a no-go. That would be my #1 request. (native casting just isn't as good as a direct cable connection)

Thanks again.

how to install 20170505?

i use twrp 2.8.7

install rom then gapp, bootlop

install rom, reboot, go rom, go recovery install gapp, ok, but none root, some bug, out of game...

so, how to best install, or what rom is best for game? (robo war)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] huyhung040106:

how to tune kernel audiutor, lmfree, swap?...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Jrhoop:
Im having trouble as well.

Install using philz 6.48.4, which has never failed me before.

Flash lineage-14.1-20170505-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip. Mini gapps is too big when attempting to flash straight away after rom flash. Micro gapps will flash but the setup crashes continuously and wont get past the transfer files screen. Tried again as i thought it was a bad flash but same again.

Flashed ROM again and booted without flashing gapps and that is a world of pain.

Trying now with pico gapps.

I'm on TWRP 2.8.7

Been a while since I used the device.

Just going to use it for Summoners War, Books and the occasional movie.

Wiped Dalvik, Cache, Data, System.

I'm flashing lineage-14.1-20170505-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip & open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170513.

I got "Failed to mount /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system" error as well.

It seemed to flash, fairly quickly I might add, as I remember Resurrection Remix taking considerably longer to flash.

Gapps began flashing right after.

Seeing a light blue arc now, little ball going back and forth.

Oh, it's three balls.

It's Lineage :o

Setup Wizard crashes after language selection, upon selecting "Set up as new." Then returns to Language selection screen.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
when given the chance, swipe down from the top and enable WiFi, and Setup will continue normally.

It's a common bug on many LOS / AOSP newer installs
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skalnas:
I had the same issue, solved by flashing the ROM without gapps. Then I got setup to work, after setup is complete reboot and flash gapps.

My KFHD now seems stuck at the blue logo screen. Is this normal for the first startup of 14.1? How long should it stay there at maximum until showing the lineage bootup animation?

Hi! I'm newbie about ROM flashing... I have an Amazon Tate running CM11 (I did what is suggested at rubenalamina's blog). Is it safe to update to the 20170717 build of LineageOS?

I've read at cyanogenmods.org that we can't flash LineageOS 14.1 over a different CM version (I didn't understand why, because if we want to update we don't want to stay with the same version). Here's what is written there:

This is the only reason I still didn't update yet.

If it is possible, how is the best (safe) way to do it?

Also, by your experience, which Gapps do you recommend?

Edit: I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 on it.

Thanks!

Gustavo
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
I think those things only apply if you are trying to keep intact all your apps from the previous versions.

I wouldn't attempt to do that, I always back up my apps and reinstall.

In other words, if you wipe /data, you are good to install any rom (and opengapps in this case), and shouldn't get errors.

going from CM11 to CM14/ LNOS, you probably want to format data as F2FS anyway (which would wipe it completely) as well.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I always use opengapps PICO

They are saying that you can't flash it over another ROM without wiping before flashing.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gfcaetano:
Thanks for the reply.

Before flashing it I'd like to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid that could brick my device...

I've already done a backup of my data, so I don't need to keep anything.

Device: Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" (X43Z60).

Installed OS: Cyanogenmod 11.

TWRP version: 2.8.7.0.

I'm trying to make a step by step guide before doing it... can you help me writing/correcting it?

1) boot into twrp (my "volume up" key isn't working, so I have installed "fire flash" app just to reboot into recovery);

2) change filesystem to F2FS by tapping "wipe" -> "advanced wipe"

Now I have "data", "cache", "system", "dalvik cache" and "internal storage" partitions, which of them I can change to F2FS and which of them should I just wipe? (I've noticed that I can't change the FS for "Dalvik Cache" and "Internal Storage").

3) copy "lineage-14.1-20170717-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170809.zip" from the PC to the internal storage;

4) return to main TWRP screen and tap "install" -> "lineage-14.1-20170717-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip" -> confirm -> Wipe Cache/Dalvik;

5) return to main TWRP screen and tap "install" -> "open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170809.zip" -> confirm -> Wipe Cache/Dalvik;

Is that it?

Thanks again!

Hey, I've enabled root in the developer's options but don't have root access. What should I do?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] vasolini:
Maybe someone who knows will chime in, but whatever you do, DO NOT flash supersu!!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
SuperSU defaults to the boot.img patch method on 6.x ROMs (it's referred to as the 'systemless root' method). That patch is neither needed (Amazon hasn't created 6.0 stock firmware, and I don't think they plan to anytime soon; also, root access is available via developer options in CM-based ROMs) nor compatible with the kindles (based on some reports from adventurous XDA users, I've heard it prevents normal booting and requires reflashing via fastboot to fix). [MENTION=6322935]r3t3ch[/MENTION] posted a how-to for disabling the systemless root method here. To automate that fix, I'll conjure up a flashable .zip as soon as I have time (maybe this weekend). :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
yes that would appear to be a 2nd gen HD Fire with HDMI and camera (TATE)

Step 2 - the only partition to change to F2FS is /data

add Step 2 A - REBOOT TO RECOVERY

Step 4 - after installing CM14 based roms I have made it a habit to add

Step 4A - REBOOT TO RECOVERY

install gapps

also no need to wipe cache/Dalvik multiple times.

you can wipe them once as long as the system hasn't booted before installing gapps.

I suspect this will all go just fine

my recollection is that some versions of TWRP don't work properly with USB support while in recovery... (That may be the Otter or OtterX kindles, I forget)

and you may have to ADB push the rom and gapps to the device

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

one last thing before you pull the trigger

be aware that the roms past 5.1 for the most part do not have camera support , nor HDMI output....

I still have one TATE connected to a TV that I use CM11 with just for the HDMI output to the TV
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gfcaetano:

Thanks for all this, I've just installed the latest lineage on my kindle tate, and it's great. Still needs the Calendar APK fix from the Lineage 13.0 thread.

I'm new to flashing ROMs, and was just wondering, how does the speed compare between Marshmallow and Nougat on the kindle tate? I was considering going back an OS version if the speed was better, but I've seen a lot of posts saying there's not much difference, or Nougat is faster, and that it has better battery life.

Many thanks!
