Have you guys been able to get your micro SD card slot working? After I rooted and flashed a stripped down version of the stock Amazon OS I have lost the ability to use my micro SD card slot.

I flashed the LineageOS 14.1 zip and stock gapps as well for my Amazon fire 5th gen but I keep getting an error. When it boots up and gets into setup Ill reach a screen that says "Welcome to your Fire." Tapping on the Set up as new button every time shows a popup saying that "Setup Wizard has stopped." I've wiped the tablet in TWRP multiple times and reflashed as well. The Setup Wizard has every permission. The one solution I can't try is using wifi cause when I turn it on it just turns back off. Can I please get some help with this?

[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
I'm afraid you'd have to wait for someone to look into your issue. And are you sure this is Austin and not Ford?
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
There is no development taking place on this obsolete ROM, nor is any likely going forward given waning interest, limited resources and aging devices.
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Figures, though my question is, is it true that there are hardware revisions of the same Austin and/or Ford units? Like different camera modules and such?
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Yep - at least with Austin (suspected on Ford).

[Fire Original Android Development] Michajin:
So just to recap;

You are selling 1,000 fire 7 (2017) tablets, that you are wiping and installing unofficial Lineage 12.1 on to sell to a customer so you can make a profit? Now the you agrees to sell 1,000 tablets, you find out the rom isn't 100% perfect and you are asking for help to fulfill your agreement?

about 500, the camera works and about 500 the camera doesn't?

Where did you find 1,000 old budget tablets? (I'm curious)

You expected a custom rom to not have flaws?

Just trying to make sure this is what i am reading...

I do wish you luck, but it seems to me this is quite a reach on a dead tablet, considering the fire 7 (2019) is almost dead already...
[Fire Original Android Development] SoftwareService:
Yeah bro it is not mine I have a mobile shop and some one bring me 1000 fire 7 to add arabic language with play store / and i just did it now after 10 hour off trying i added full arabic support to official rom and chaned the launcher and every think is fine camera working And now i will pull the rom from this device and flash it into all othe device thanks for help

And man in my country everythink is old hahaha belive or not i am flashing ( amazon otter ) yes that old one with one power every week people are dont kniw anything about old and new ?☹️?
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
So ggow has to take those camera module blobs into account, yes? Assuming he's still up to maintaining this ROM for such an old device.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
If you look through the thread (and the one for Fire Nexus) you'll find a history of camera issues with this device. Not sure of the current state (which may vary by hardware type/build) as I never used the cameras beyond an initial test run on FireOS which confirmed they are rubbish.
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Guess I should consider myself lucky then. The unit I have uses the compatible camera modules.

[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Can I dirty-flash it with no issues? And does anyone have a link to the austin zip? The ones I found date back to late 2019.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Dirty flash should be fine. Just checked the austin zip is in there - they may not show in date order.
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
That's glad to know, thanks!
[Fire Original Android Development] jayjr1105:
Hey guys, surprised this tablet (5th gen 7") is still getting some love. I dug mine out of a closet today charged it up and it looks like I have CM12.1 installed. Not sure what recovery it's running but would this be a worthwhile upgrade to what I'm running now?
[Fire Original Android Development] ajislav:
Read OP, you are most likely on the old Amazon recovery
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
That might work as long as there is a root method for it, which I'm not sure if there is or isn't as I'm on the 5.0.1 BL.

Let me know if it becomes a recurring issue, maybe grab a couple of screenshots if you need to and a logcat also.
[Fire Original Android Development] Jake1702_:
"Getting stuck"? I've seen something like that with FireOS too so it might not be a ROM problem.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Ah interesting.
[Fire Original Android Development] Jake1702_:
If you have 5.4.0.0 you can go back to 5.3.2.1. As you said though, you have 5.4.0.1 which is not known if it can be downgraded yet. Even if it can, there's no benefit other than being able to "remove" the Amazon bloatware, since 5.3.2.1 also cannot be rooted. Downgrading further will hard brick the device. If you want to try to go from 5.4.0.1 to 5.3.2.1, feel free to try at YOUR OWN RISK. I generally wouldn't recommend it. If you do try, we'd appreciate it if you could post back whether it worked or not.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
I should add I was using L Speed to tweak some RAM options, but I'm going to try with L Speed disabled for a few days and see if the issue persists. Then I will check back.

Just did a completely fresh install with sideloading 5.3.1, rooting then flashing the latest build. MTP mode switching issue is indeed fixed. Really appreciate that, thank you.
[Fire Original Android Development] iknight8:
I just returned the tablet!
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Updated to 0912 build via the latest FlashFire (0.72), tossing in a shiney Open GAaps nano build for good measure. Everything went fine. Wiped system and both caches; left data intact.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
So we don't have to clean flash?
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Of course not. When was that a requirement except in special situations (called out by dev) or when switching ROMs?
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
It mentioned something about clean flashing above I think maybe I misread.
[Fire Original Android Development] Dakotalee24:
Can I install this update on top of last months release? I really dont want to reinstall everything.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Yes - that is what the previous 2-3 posts were discussing.
[Fire Original Android Development] melvinaury:
I update over previos month build, wipe dalvik and cache. When boot all the apps are intac, but the data was delete, wifi access points anx google accounts...
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
For those new to LineageOS: see here for a brief overview. Note link references an outside publication which has been recently updated for LineageOS.
[Fire Original Android Development] shar88:
Was on the last CM release, and did a clean install using the instructions and the latest FlashFire (0.72). Wipe system, apps, Dalvik cache, added the lineage zip, added the open gapps accepting the defaults (nothing checked), moved wipe to the top, hit flash. Now my fire has been at the amazon logo for 10 minutes not doing anything.

During the flash process I saw some error about unable to unmount /system and not being able to create some symlink.

Update:

So I fixed it by following this guide

Guess my question is, did I do something wrong, fluke accident, problem?

Fire Ford

Hello, just tested a bit this newest rom, video recording doesn't work with stock camera, fails to communicate with server, I found an effective camera working with Simple Mobile Tools Camera that saves .mp4 correctly. Also I checked tzdata it is 2015a, that can be easily fixed with Magisk Module systemless tzdata to 2019c.

Best Regards.
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
I can reproduce that issue with my Austin too. The stock camera crashes if you try to record videos but you can work around this with Simple Camera as explained above. I can provide a logcat/dmesg if you need one.
[Fire Original Android Development] toasterboy1:
Kids are dying to have the video recording function back. Unfortunately Simple Camera keeps crashing on 14.1. Might comeback to 12.1 from 14.1 just for that.

[Fire Original Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Getting the same thing on my end. I suspect it's an AFH issue more than anything else. AFH says the ROM has (literally) zero downloads as well.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Downloads look OK now...
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
There, just flashed the new build and video recording now appears to be working just fine. :D
[Fire Original Android Development] barcia99:
At this point would you consider the 12.1 more stable then the 14 that I have installed. He seemed to update this recently compared to the 14. Running Ford version.
[Fire Original Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
For stability LOS 12.1 for sure is the best one to run for now. Hopefully 14.1 and beyond will be stabilized down the road.
[Fire Original Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Assuming ggow would get around to fixing all the remaining issues that is.
[Fire Original Android Development] barcia99:
Can you dirty flash down to 12.1 from 14.1 safely? And if you can I'm not sure 100% what the correct process is. I've always did clean flash. It seems that a lot of people have different opinions on how. Any help appreciated.
[Fire Original Android Development] Shambles22:
It's better do a clean flash
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
First and foremost do a full backup so you can easily recover if things go south. Be sure to have everything you need (rom, gapps, magisk, etc) on the device or SD card. Verify accessibility from TWRP. Then wipe system ONLY followed by a flash of core components. Permit wipe of cache/dalvik when promoted. If device boots and reads existing data, great. Chances are apps won't work due to downgrade. In that case you'll need to repeat the above (except backup; you already have that, right?) while including all partitions in the initial data wipe. Good luck.
[Fire Original Android Development] barcia99:
Awsome, worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
[Fire Original Android Development] barcia99:
Well switched both tablet's over to 12.1 from 14.1 with no problems except can't sign into Google play xda app on both tablet's. Tells me invalid username/pw both tablet's. I can sign in on OnePlus 7t and galaxy S5 with same sign in info, weird. Uninstalled xda app and reinstalled from Google play same. Any thoughts on the cause. Anything is appreciated, thanks in advanced.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Might try XDA Labs app which tends to be more robust vs Play Store varient. Strongly recommend 1.1.6b build as the 1.1.7 branch has proven a bit unstable.
[Fire Original Android Development] barcia99:
Tried 1.1.6b with no change. Still comes up username/pw invalid. I'm at a loss.

Similar problems have been reported in the past by others. Never experienced it myself. Might try searching/asking in this thread:

Edit: I had to enable developer options from the family link app because it's set up as my son's tablet
[Fire Original Android Development] mzhang86:
Great ROM! I do have an issue though.

I have an austin and a ford fire 7 which I loaded the latest 5/5 version. I started with the austin and everything works great. I can't find any issues with it.

On the ford tablet, there are numerous apps on the play store that show up as incompatible and won't install. When I load on version 14.1, the apps show up and install fine. The bugs in 14.1 are bothersome so I would like to stay with 12.1.

Any thoughts?
[Fire Original Android Development] barcia99:
Personally I switched from 14.1 back to 12.1. battery life is much better (at least for me it has been). I've also personally found it more stable for myself. I currently am having a issue logging into xda from my Kindle fire. I'm running 2 Kindle fire Ford edition tablet's. Not the quickest but rooting and rom speeds it up a bit. You can only do so much with the parts installed. Still not bad for a 30-40 dollar tablet.
[Fire Original Android Development] vanzan:
Yep this rom does everything I need it to. The only problem I have is that my austin tablet is always complaining about low storage space. I don't have any media stored on it though. My elderly brother uses it solely for browsing yet somehow 5GB is taken up.

Are you using an SD Card? I've added a 64GB one which seems to help things a little.

which version of gapps do you recommend for this version of LineagOS,

i installed it on my fire 7 properly and now i get always the error "google frameworks has stopped" amd i cannot configure the lineageOS.

Which file should i install via recovery? is there any Link?

Thx in advance

[Fire Original Android Development] platypoid:
which lineage version ? Both 12.1 and 14.1 get talked about in this forum topic ( there is a separate one for just 14.1 I think)

for lineage 12.1 it should be android version 5.1

for lineage 14.1 it is I believe android version 7.1

use small gapps version pico or maybe micro for arm

front camera

This rom is beautiful :good: :good: :good:, I have a fire 7 7th austin, I only have an error, when opening the camera it works fine, but when I put the front camera, it gives me an error that it could not connect with the camera. has someone fixed that? :confused: :confused: :confused:

-happens the same as in lineage Os 14.1
[Fire Original Android Development] GambrinusX:
@ggow Thanks for your work, looks rock solid!

A few "lessons learned" from myself:

* If you like GApps, you have to install them by hand via TWRP. Maybe the pico-version from openGApps is useful (ARM/5.1/pico).

* Some Apps do not work "out of the box", for example Netfilx. These Apps do not appear in the playstore, reason seems to be that the unlocked bootloader/root-status is detected. There are many workarounds in this forum, for me the apk-install from apkmirror looks promising.

* Sadly Spotify Kids is not working (Crashes constantly after logging in). Maybe someone can help?

Thanks again!
[Fire Original Android Development] Shattermatter:
After a long time I wanted to update my Fire Tablet to the newest version. Back then I flashed the version from 02 August 2017, which is really old by now. :)

I can't recall the exact steps that I used to install this firmware, but I know I used fastboot and TWRP (maybe 2.8.0.0?).

So do I need to follow the steps mentioned in the 1. post for using the bootloader hack or can I just use adb fastboot + TWRP?
[Fire Original Android Development] johako:
Like others I have problems with the camera on austin. I have tested several versions:

20190422

20190524

20200423

On 20190422 both cameras are working without problems. On all other versions i get the couldn't connect error. Anything i can help with to solve that?
[Fire Original Android Development] castone123:

One more bug to report: If you have any apps on the sd card when you do an upgrade through flashfire, they wont move back to the tablet and they won't uninstall. I have to do a clean install on one of my tablets, fortunately I have two.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
For full SD card support you'll need to use a tool like Apps2SD or Link2SD to move applications.

[Fire Original Android Development] Ace42:
Ggow has ported both the Aug & July patches, so he'll probably address Sept within the next two releases (assuming the project continues). In the meantime, simply disabling Bluetooth should prevent a 3rd party from exploiting blueborne.

This is a kernel (or at least common) issue that impacts all custom ROMs for this device. Memory load appears to play a role. Try to reduce the number of apps that auto-start; swipe away items you won't be returning to soon.
