Well, there are not blocking the install, Android by default won't let you install it without root privileges, but I see your point. There is not reason for Amazon to get rid of Live Wallpapers. It's just one of the things to make this Tablet $49.
[Fire General] gaseki:
Do I gather right there's no way of downgrading or rooting for 5.4.0.0 just yet?
[Fire General] DB126:
Correct - likely will remain that way for the foreseeable future. A root exploit has yet to be found for the 2016 6th gen Fire HD 8 which has been available for over a year. 2014 HD 6 was a bear too. Amazon is doing a credible job buttoning down recent Fire gizmos running older Android 5.x based ROMs.
[Fire General] 00101:
I suppose this is what I get for buying one thinking I'll just root it, but the 7th gen likely won't be seeing an exploit for quite sometime then? And chances are by the time one is found most devices would have been updated to a few versions newer anyway, right? Is there a surefire way of blocking updates? Maybe a DNS white list for a few site you frequent? Not a viable solution to many, but I could live with it.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Try a no root firewall. However even those aren't 100%. Only way to be sure to block OTA is to shut off the WiFi.
[Fire General] 00101:
Would not allowing access to the internet, excluding a handful of sites on a whitelist, at the router level not be sufficient? Obviously this only applies on my own network, but I don't plan to ever take it anywhere. I understand it severely hamstrings the utility of the device, but I think its an acceptable trade for my use case.
[Fire General] DB126:
Yes if your router blocks are all inclusive (strict whitelist) and reliable. I have seen more than one router 'leak' information, especially lower-end consumer models with stock firmware.
[Fire General] TheTruthKC:
I was bummed with this realization, because I like having my wallpaper change to a different/random image every so often. On my phones, I use Wallpaper Changer to accomplish this with a Live wallpaper.

To my suprise, wallpaper changer works on my HD 8 (2017). I have launcher Hijack 2.1, Nova Prime as my launcher. I installed Wallpaper changer, downloaded some photos from unsplash into a folder. I set Wallpaper Changer to monitor that folder, and change my wallpaper everytime I unlock the device. In the settings tab, I set an option called "Static wallpaper mode".

It does take 10 or so seconds after the device unlocks, but the wallpaper changes just like I need it to.

Hope this helps someone out there who wants a to swap out wallpaper every so often!
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Can you post detailed steps for this please? I would love to try it later.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
It's just not the same. So far I haven't been able to get the Android Stock Live Wallpapers to run, even though they show up in Nova. Something on the desktop is stopping them from running, or the Livewallpaper apks really do need to be installed into /system/ which it total bull****. However Nova does allow me to select them, but the desktop will not allow me to use them.
[Fire General] savvytechwinner:
The System relys on it being in the system, which isn't bull**** at all. Fire OS isn't made for it, so it won't work. It's that simple. I am sorry you feel this way.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I can full screen the wallpapers, some of them. but that's all they'll do.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xdauser'17:
hi guys,

the app was stopped on my s8,too.

to prevent unnecessary data loss, i didn't flash the driver zip, but installed it manually by using these commands:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /system/bin/linker /system/bin/linker.bak

cp linker /system/bin/

chown root:shell /system/bin/linker

chmod 755 /system/bin/linker

mount-o ro, remount /system

and then i launch this app, enable monitor mode, but it crashed, and i can't open it anymore. i tried to clean the app's data, uninstall and reinstall the app, but no way to make it work again. so what is the mistake i did?

after that, my phone even won't boot again. i have no other choices but to restore the linker binary in the twrp terminal. anyway, the Wmon app installed some files that can't be uninstalled by uninstalling the app, where are those files? could someone please tell me?

BTW , can i install and load the driver manually?

thank you.

Will this work for BCM43455 as well? ( Lg G5)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] venus342a:
Not yet tested, Use 'otherdrivers.zip'. It might work as it has the same chipset. Follow procedure carefully.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] venus342a:
Hi there :)

I'm unable to diagnose the reason behind the crash.

The process takes a long time as I do not own a S8 and I work under beta testers.

As I am continuing to build this project, help us by posting a logcat at our development site : https://github.com/venus342/Wmon---Monitor-Mode

Please create a new issue so that we can help you out.

And yup, you can install the driver manually. After installing drivers, please confirm flashing/manual install was successful.

As the monitor mode driver install is permanent, the files can't be removed manually. It gets installed in the EFS partition. If you edit this partition manually, your communication system will fail.

So I recommend you to either use the 'Disable monitor mode' which will temporarily benefit you.

But if you want complete reinstall, You should Delete and recreate these partitions :

1) System

2)EFS

3)Data

Then reflash stock ROM and run Factory Data reset.

Some other files gets created in the data/data/package name folder. Deleting them won't affect your device and if the app is installed, the files will automatically get created.

Please refer to github for help : https://github.com/venus342/Wmon---Monitor-Mode

Thanks & Regards.

Thank you so much for your reply!

ok, i will provide more logs on github.

also, i have one more question: can i edit the /efs partition from TWRP's terminal? i can mount it and view its content from there, if i failed to install it i want to do some reverse. because i'm boring at backup and restoring data. :)

When I press RUN AIRMON-NG the phone restarts.

When I activate the monitor mode ,how can I see it capture frames?

i tried it just now, and airmon-ng crashed my phone, too. when i extracted the binaries from apk file and run them in terminal, it prompted that it's not position independent executable. maybe you forgot to use '-pie' argument while compiling?

and then, i compiled the 'iw' tool for android, ran 'iw dev' in the terminal emu, it shows the wlan0's mode is still managed. also the 'iw list' command doesn't show monitor mode in the support modes. Is the driver not installed properly?

thanks.

Any news?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Skander1998:
I'd suggest being (very) careful until a trusted member looks over this.

This is the same person behind the Knox Reset scam, the same person that created multiple accounts vouching for his method, and the same person that listed a non functional app for money and then disappeared.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] venus342a:
1. KNOX Reset was completely free before being bought over.

2. KNOX Reset actually works. You don't have the right to call it a scam without using the app.

3. I didn't post anything from my other account ( local342 )

4. Because the app was bought over, I didn't have the right to provide Customer Support.

5. Wmon is also completely free.

6. Both apps are/were ad-free.

7. Both apps are/were completely virus-free. A proper virus scan result will be included in the descriptions soon.

8. Over 5000+ people got thier KNOX to 0x0(0) using my app (Reported by OrangeMedia)

9. The company chose to 'sell' KNOX Reset for a price.

Thank you.

I mean, "Monitor mode partially working but it breaks the wifi functionality. " how does it break it? What are the consequences etc. Why would anyone want to test this with such an broad statement that it breaks WiFi...

I would happily look at this but there is really zero info about what to expect by installing the files etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
***ATTENTION***​

I am surprised this thread has been allowed to continue, and with all due respect to the XDA community and the mods, it shows an ever-growing lack of attention to detail. The github project has not been updated in 3 months, an active project will have a new commit at least once a week, especially in its early development stages. My instincts tell me that the intent here is malicious, whether it be direct or indirect, you can judge for yourselves. If you couple that with the fact that the KNOX reset controversy is inherently related to OP, regardless of claims made by the OP, it only solidifies my theory.

That aside, you still have the issue of monitor mode being freely available in several reputable opensource projects already, making this particular "project" rather redundant and unnecessary. Monitor mode will also require a rooted device, which most won't want/need anymore (though I personally insist on having it), and with root, it isn't difficult to find the resources needed to use monitor mode. Those whom would be interested in such resources, would likely be comfortable using a terminal emulator, which is basically all you need in order to use monitor mode (using aircrack-ng suite, nethunter, etc, etc, etc).

My last and most important statement is the fact you are flashing unknown files without any thorough instruction whatsoever. There has been numerous claims of crashes, bootloops, and other odd behavior regarding the files as well as the flashing process. I have glanced at the source, and while I admit I didn't thoroughly investigate, it is using a large number of scripts, rather than composing a collaborative script accomplishing several repetitive tasks in one run. I tend to be paranoid about scripts, especially in large numbers, as they can do a whole lot with so little. I will be doing a more thorough investigation tomorrow when I get home from work.

Now, some may not care for my opinion, and I'll admit I could be entirely wrong for being cautious, but again, my instinct tells me I'm not, which is why I decided to post this. My advice would be to refrain from using any files related to this OP/thread until further clarification is added, which I'm hoping to supply at my earliest convenience. Those who continue to use these files should do so with caution, and I would highly recommend browsing the source before doing so. This is most definitely not a project for amateur enthusiast either, and I say that with no disrespect, I just don't want people ruining their expensive devices trying to try out something new and exciting to them (as we all see so often in root/rom threads).

Again, this is my opinion, not definitive proof, but everything about this project is sketchy. Be careful ladies and gents, we don't live in a perfect world, some just want to watch it burn.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] chippyuk:
Tend to agree completely especially as the OP did not even bother to reply to my previous post nearly a month ago! Seems very fishy to me! Think the mods need to investigate this further also!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
You don't need an XDA source to use monitor mode. If you're knowledgeable enough to use monitor mode correctly, you'd know you can use it as you would on a Linux distro, using software, such as the aircrack suite.

The s8/s8+ has a wireless card that supports mon mode without a special driver.
